- if I'm not mistaken, using a magnetized screwdriver to electronics could permanently damage it. much like a credit card strip. I personally bought a multi-tip screwdriver set that is not magnetized. After further review, it seems like the general consensus is that the screwdrivers do not have a strong enough magnet to damage the parts, and most bloggers have chimed in, reporting no problems using one. Maybe I'm just over cautious...
