I wanted one of those magnet sticks they sell at most hardware stores, but short. Something for grabbing a few nuts or bolts out of a drawer, something for gathering up all the little bits and bobs left across a workspace. So I made one

Uses 1 of these M8x3 magnets, or the ones from Bambu. You can pressure fit it into the end, or use a tiny dab of glue. I use hot glue because I don't like superglue.
