demagnetizer

Erases magnetic charge

A demagnetizer is a device that removes or neutralizes magnetic fields from objects.

Tools, watches, and electronic components that have become accidentally magnetized can be restored to their non-magnetic state: Run the screwdriver through the demagnetizer before working on the hard drive.

Also called a degausser.
