Let's say the model in the picture (right-handed), sinks that nail. He has to then set the hammer down to grab another nail from his left wrist, then transfer the nail to his other hand, pick up the hammer again, sink next nail. Because obviously the nail setting hand can't grab a nail from the back of itself. So then the other alternative is to put the magnet band on the hammer hand. Which results in a spray of hardware with each hammer blow. I think that this technology would be better suited to a HEADBAND. Or how about an adult sized pacifier with external magnet attached. After all, everybody wants to hold nails in their mouth anyway......... Well if you’re hammering nails it’s a bit useless. Let’s say the model in the picture (right-handed), sinks that nail.

I've bought a similar band with a thin box holding the magnets. It has a strong surface (which is already worn quite a bit but holds up) so I even use it to collect metal filings from places where a vacuum cleaner is not convenient... Highly recommended. By the way, having it on the right wrist is smarter - most people take and hold screws with the left hand...
