Most Helpful Favorable Review

I used to scoff at people that used things like this because I used to feel that any type of container or bowl would work just fine to hold nuts and bolts while you worked on your project.  Well, that all changed when I accidentally knocked over my container and spilled all my nuts and bolts all over...

If you decide to purchase this Magnet to hold your Screws, you will be wasting your money.  A week after using it the glue that hold the magnet and plate together gave up.  Now I have a $8 Magnet and a cheap metal plate. I don't think I need to purchase glue just to glue the magnet back into place....

I bought this bowl today. I got home and found out it is made in china!!! If you pay for the Craftsman name you should get US made products.

Sears you are stepping up your games on beautiful fashions. I have purchase two (2) Studio JRP lightweight coats. One is Leopard black and white other has three colors. With this coat I use it for a coat dress. To say, I was the talk at church...... Keep the good fashion up and you will be on top of "great fashion". When I told the church ladies where I got it from...They did'nt want to believe me....... Happy to "shop" at Sears.....

I have a couple of these.  I love using them.  I don't have to worry about loose nuts and bolts rolling around the floor while I'm trying to work on something.

Don't lose your bolts

This is one of the tools that every pro and DIY'er needs. Its great for keeping your nuts, bolts, and other small metal parts in order.

i bought this so i wouldnt have any type of issues losing bolts or nuts while working on my car and it did exactly as i planned, EXCELLENT! the rubber on the bottom prevents the magnet from scratching the paint. definitely a great tool to have

Magnetic Steel Bowl

My husband builds and works on motorcycles. He loves the magnetic bowl. He simply pulls the screws and small misc parts and places them in the bowl. If he bumps or knocks over the bowl, nothing falls out! No more searching the garage floor on his hands and knees with a flashlight!

very handy bowl

This bowl has an extremely strong magnet - I can turn it over and nothing made of steel falls out. The sloped sides make it easy to grab items from it. My one complaint is that it had a very strong oily odor. It took several washings, and leaving it outside to air for a week before it was fit to bring in the house. A great buy. I paid $5 on sale, compared to over $15 for a similar one my friend bought at a quilt show!

AWESOME INVENTION !

This a great product! I bought it to take to salvage yards to scrounge for parts for my '72 Camaro. It was on sale for $5. I ended up using it all the time. It works great when your under the car and you need a place to put (and then find) those little parts. It's also very handy when removing lug nuts because it keeps them from rolling under the car in the garage. The rubber bottom is nice and it keeps it from scratching paint. I liked it so well, I bought another one to have on hand.

Weak Magnet

Magnet is not very strong at all. Not great will not hold a screw when tipped sideways. I reccomend buying a better product. It may be cheap, but it doesn't help. Now I bought something I am just going to replace with something better

I bought the Craftsman magnetic steel bowl for all of my crafty family members for Christmas. It is the perfect bowl to sit nearby your sewing machine to catch needles, tweezers, and any metal parts you take off your sewing machine when you clean it. The magnet is very powerful so I don't have to worry about anything falling out of the bowl in case it's tipped over. I never knew that I couldn't live without it and so glad I discovered it.

Before I had this product, I had to constantly keep looking for droped bolts when working on my truck. The great part is the strong magnetic bottom which I can place on a flat metal area when I'm working. It stays put and so do the bolts. Another great product.
