Default Magnets

I haven't seen anybody use these, but they come very handy.
I am working on the HS and with that Van's SB for the cracks, there are a lot of pieces meeting together in the same place. So in order to know for sure that drilling a hole on one side will be ok on the other side, I found these tiny magnets (1/8 inch). I put them on, and now I am able to make sure I have all the required edge distances on both sides before drilling.
Found them on Amazon.
