Handy, man

The HandyBand magnetic wristband will hold a wrench, screws and a socket.

I got a job at AutoWeek, and we ran a Father's Day gift guide with car-related things (like a Ferrari leather iPad case), obnoxious items (like a $70 pair of nail clippers) and something really cool, the Handy Band for $10. I bought five of them. 

From the Why Didn't I Think of That files, it's a magnetic wristband that holds wrenches, screws, nuts, sockets, etc., so you can use both hands for working and you don't have to get up and down the ladder 100 times.

I bought one for myself and every one of my brothers who is a mechanic.

I made a goofy video showing the kinds of things it will grab for you. It did pick up scissors, but I would not use it to hold them. They might fall off and you could get hurt.

This would be ideal for when you're working on a car where you have to remove so many nuts and bolts.

It would be nice if the Handy Band had a pencil holder too. But I guess that's what ears and teeth are for.  Also, the Handy Band can pinch your skin a little. So wear a wristband or long sleeves underneath.

I'm giving a Handy Band to my dad for Father's Day. I asked him what he would say if I got him a set of nail clippers that cost $70. He said I wouldn't be any daughter of his. Save money, get this $10 gift instead.
