will the magnet on the screwdriver damage the device at anytime?

no. its not nearly strong enough to cause electronics damage. Successfully used this set to work on large HDDs. no issues.

the magnet tip is not strong enough to damage any electrical devices or cause EMI. it is only strong enough to hold a very small screw like those on an iphone.

hmm, just went and checked it out. There have been times when I thought it did, and then lots of times where it failed the test. too weird, the butt end has enough to pull a screw across the table, so it does hold itself in the screwdriver, which it doesn't need, it's anchored very well. The working tip that would hold the screw in place also has it but it's so weak it's just about worthless. every once in a while it kinda seemed to attract the screw, but not really, I'd consider it pointless.hope that helps. still a great tool, yeah, I wish it had a stronger tip magnet.

No there isn't. This screwdriver is not well made. I used it about 10 times and it broke.

Considering that Magnets only affect mechanical storage devices, no! Your phone or device should be entirely Solid State Memory, or Flash memory. And those types of memory are not affected by small magnet fields like this one. I have had no problems with mine at all.

I highly doubt the magnet is strong enough to affect it. It shouldn't be a worry :)

Well, you do have a dilemma. The iCracked screw drivers are pretty good when removing damaged screws, but if all else fails, the the option is to gently put a flat head plastic like a guitar pic or screw drive along with a glass suction cup and break the back cover

I have had no trouble with mine. So no not that I know of. And the magnets are not very strong so you should be fine.

It depends if your device is solid state or not. If it is solid state that means there are no moving parts so the magnets wont hurt anything. If your device is not solid state then you should power it completely off every time you store your laptop and move it. And if you do this properly, the magnets shouldnt have any affect on it. Also, the magnets are very small and not really what Id consider any threat to your device.

I do not believe there is a magnet in the screwdriver, you can always magnetize the bit with a magnet though, works fine for small applications like this.

No, you would have to buy a Magnetic Screwdriver Bit Holder (https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct;=j&q;=&esrc;=s&source;=images&cd;=&cad;=rja&docid;=nSIeUdOEr-3-GM&tbnid;=reipAAcA1RzX9M:&ved;=0CAUQjRw&url;=http%3A%2F%2Ftoolguyd.com%2Fmakita-impact-gold-screwdriver-bit-set-review%2F&ei;=3rUCU5rWIILBoATU24DoCQ&bvm;=bv.61535280,d.cGU&psig;=AFQjCNGLkQaPOMGwWGKgq3lV7HGeC9wEdg&ust;=1392772953894527) This link will show you a picture of it are google the phrase " Magnetic Screwdriver Bit Holder"

It doesn't. That is what I was looking for when I bought this and I typed in magnetic but I sure can't tell that it is, if it is. But yesterday this screwdriver saved me. I was putting an old door back up and stripped the screw with my drill so I got out this new Philips head and it caught and held on all the screws so, I'd say get it anyway!

The handle is supposed to be magnetic. Supposed to hold the bit in magnetically and keep from losing screws

I am not sure you should contact the maker of your device, but most times you dont want strong magnets in or around memory type devices.

Yes. The complaints about the screw are unjustified. The screw is used simply to ensure the case doesn't open in transit, and to prevent theft of individual tools in stores. It's only slightly problematic if you have no screwdriver, or no items that can be used as a screwdriver (like a knife).

I have had no problems with the magnet affecting the hard drive in any way.I have bluetooth headphones and put the Nano with case in my pocket and go hiking with it located in the front of my pants....no issues.

No, the magnet will not affect the phone in anyway. It will prevent you from charging wireless if you have a wireless charger like the qi

The magnet is fairly strong. I wouldn't chance it. I might carry it separately if possible
