You got an old dead or useless hard drive around laying around? Pull the magnets out of it, they are strong bastards.
a buddy of mine did this with his computer magnets:

Great call shotlady! I've been using these for a few years now for multiple things. Mainly attaching to a stick and walking around one of my gravel roads picking up nails from construction being done. Sorta like a reverse metal detector. I'm embarrased to say, I went to the range and was trying to pick up spent casings.... DUH BRASS! Also would be good to retreive a fishing pole that went into the water. Right now, the ones I have are in the shed holding some tools up.

Folks, of course you know this is NOT the proper way to store a gun in the house with children around.

Well crap, I just tossed like 4 drives last week. Thanks for the heads up.
If you use the magnets to hang up a weapon you may want to glue a thin layerof felt or some sort of material so as not to scratch the exterior of the weapon. I hate it when I scratch a nice weapon.

I use two of them as Survival does. I mounted them to an aluminum bar shaped like a hockey stick. I sweep the gravel driveway and yard for nails and screws. It also works great to pick up the welding rod stubs after a project.
I like the idea of hanging a handgun. Maybe under a table or somewhere. Good idea.

Put a piece of para cord in one of the holes for a lanyard and dip the whole thing in Plasti-Dip. The magnet won't rust or scratch whats attached to it. Works great.
thanks survivor for putting that up i was swamped at work and the range tonight... but i didnt want it to go unsaid!
that wouldbe super for the safe or cabinet door. thanks for the hints to soften them for the scratch protection.
i just got my older son an fs 92 tonight and he needs more shelves in his safe. he says its too pretty to shoot. he just wants to name it and sing it songs of love and beauty. i understand. my beretta is named good morning beautiful. but that little thing sees the sun and the rain quite often. shes my show stopper.
heh the guy at the range says im the only girl he knows with gun drama lol
