Improved digging tool

[Gunnar of bradford MN]

Now i have the option to just take the pry assist off or put it on any digging tool i have the wood crossbar has a a powerfull rare earth neodemium magnet under the metal piece the magnet is 1/2" x1/4th" and i drilled a hole that it sits in and put the metal plate over it and i used oak for strenth it stays put whithout falling off and can be slid to any point on the digging tooland if i dont want it on i just take it off but it helps when prying up so the shaft does not sink ito the ground and you can also just pull it off and find those nasty nails and iron whith it its magnetic pull is very strong will work on any screw driver as long as its magnetic ive been making or modifiying my own tools like my coin popper i flatened it out best steel is high carbon i used this tool to lift up a 200 pund shelf and it did not bend one bit thats way more than i need in the feild fridgidly yours Gunnar

Do I understand right? The wood block serves 2 purposes. A fulcrum wedge and a also a magnet built in it to magnetize the home made screwdriver to have iron to stick to it?

Is that right??
