DIY Magnetic Push Sticks
Updated: Feb. 06, 2019Keep you push sticks within arm's length with some glue and a magnet.
Push sticks are essential safety items for many power tools. I used to misplace them all the time, and I’d have to hunt one down before cutting. Now, I magnetize them.
How to magnetize your push sticks
I drill a recess for a 1/2 in. rare earth magnet into their handles.
Glue the magnets in place with CA glue and slap a push stick on every tool that needs one.
If there’s no convenient steel area on the tool, just glue on a fender washer. – Paul Jacobsen
