You can lightly magnatize things by simply rubbing a magnet down the item 10-15 times going the same direction each time.

If you coil wire around the shank of the screwdriver and then hook each end to a battery, you can have an electromagnet. Won't permanently magnetize it though.

Leave it attached to a magnet over night.
I use a magnetic screwdriver one time on a screw, and that screw becomes magnetized itself. Now it will stick itself to non magnetic screwdrivers. I imagine that would work for the driver too, being as I have no idea how my screwdriver became magnetized in the first place. |

I used to do this with a wire wrapped cardboard tube, 120v receptacle and a piece of aluminum foil as a fuse.
