Can anyone tell me, is the magnetic field strength of a magnetic screwdriver
strong enough to harm any electronic components?
I am also wondering if it may be a problem only if one comes close to a
circuit when it is powered up, by disrupting currents (or shorting
leads...which is not due to the magnetic property...).
