    Our yard has a large magnet assembly mounted on a vehicle that they drive around and pick up dropped stuff, that way we're not getting flats. Called looking out for the customers,,,

    When I was active duty Air Force we had magnet bars across all the vehicles that road out on the flight line to pick up all the screws, misc. safety wire and all that other stuff we dropped from getting sucked into jet intakes.

    They work great until you have to clean all the crap off the bars at the end of every shift.
