The way I make tools magnetic is by winding some wire around the shaft very tightly. Then connect one side to a 12v battery terminal (+ or-) and zap the other side of the hand wound coil for a tenth of a second to the other terminal. Works a treat, they stay magnetic for months!

I remember doing that as a kid and it does work.
