I’m Donald Bell for Cool Tools and in a previous video I told you about using a parachute bag to store screws. In this video, I’m going to give you a closer look at what’s in my bag, and a few tips on how I use it. I’ve only been using one for a few weeks though, so take this with a grain of salt, and please leave a comment with your own advice and tips.

Have you ever held screws or nails in your mouth as a way to keep them nearby while working on a project? This week for my tool review I’m going to show you a better solution. This is the MagnoGrip (Amazon), it’s a $14 magnetic wristband available on Amazon. I found it through the Cool Tools blog.
