Tip of the Day



Pick-up tips for small metal items

Louis Braille introduced his “touch” system for the blind on the day in 1809.  It made reading and writing possible for many, but for millions of others, who’ve grown weary of constantly feeling and fumbling around to pick up tiny screws, fasteners and little metal stuff of all kinds, the touch – feely Braille system doesn’t help. 

From deep within the Carey Brothers vault, of pickup tips, we bring the “snag it and bag it” solution! 

When you have small metal items to pick up that you want to put into a plastic bag, just turn it inside out, insert a small magnet and pass it over the items, and they’ll hope right up and onto the bag surface!  Then turn it back right side out and slide the magnet off and presto! You’ve bagged them!  This works equally well for picking up metal filings too! 

All you need is a magnetic personality!
