I bought this wall-mounted magnetic strip to have easy access to tools I need for simple household tasks: opening packages, hanging pictures, assembling furniture, tightening loose nuts, installing door locks, measuring things, simple plumbing repairs, etc. It’s much better than keeping the tools in a kitchen drawer, because I can instantly find the tool(s) I need. The magnet is very strong, so I don’t have to worry about a tool falling off. The strips come in various lengths. The one I bought is 24 inches long. The shortest I’ve seen on Amazon is seven inches.
