Default De-magnetising Tools

I'm not sure why, but suddenly it seems that all my small screwdrivers, pliers etc etc have become irritatingly magnetic. I'm thinking of wrapping several turns of thick enamelled wire around a hefty nail, and just very briefly connecting that on to an old transformer from a car battery charger while the nail touches the tools.

Anyone been down this path previously?
