He Takes Magnets Out Of Old Microwaves For Use Around The Shop
Floyd VerPloeg, Lavilia, Iowa: "I take magnets out of old microwaves for use around the shop. There are two strong magnets in every microwave. Be sure to short circuit the capacitor before working on it because it can still store high voltage. After you take out the magnets, you can put the cabinet back together and you'll have a nice mouse and waterproof storage cabinet."I use the magnets to pick up spilled nuts, bolts, nails and other parts. I just put the magnet in a plastic bag, pick up the spilled parts, and then turn the plastic bag inside out and the parts are neatly stored in the bag."
