You can temporarily magnetize a tip by drawing it across a magnet,
then demagnetize when no longer needed by placing it in the
alternating magnetic field of a soldering gun.

Jim,
That is one point where we differ. I do not want a magnetic tip on
my workbench - anywhere. It attracts things like cutoff leads and
is just a nuisance to me.
I do like the magnetic driver insert tips (and a power driver) for
my woodworking activities, but not for electronic assembly.
A *good* phillips screwdriver will hold a screw sufficiently with a
finger held lightly against the screw head. For those 'long reach'
places, I move the assembly so the screwdriver remains horizontal
and the screw does not fall off.
Different strokes for different folks.
