Tool Demagnatizer

[Sandia]

I have several hand tools that have become magnatized and they drive me nuts. What kind of demag do you guys use for tools and tooling? I see several on Ebay, the flat plate style made in China being the cheapest and some of the USA made old stuff is pretty pricey.

Any suggestions.

I use a flat plate type. About a 5x10 work surface. I'm guessing it was built in the 40's from the look of it. Paid $50 for it from a Craigslist seller.

This looks like a pretty good deal:

The tools that are a nuisance for me when magnetized are fairly small that I use for clock repair work. I use my old transformer based soldering iron with a simple coil wound on a form. Totally reversible and can still be used as a soldering iron. Weller made a similar type.

I was looking at this very one earlier. Just made an offer on it.
Thanks Jim
