The Socket Magnet Sleeve – an incredibly simple 3d print you can do. Print it out in PLA, place two magnets in the side magnet holes and CA glue in, then pound it into a deep 7/16″ socket. Now you will never lose nuts deep in the socket, they don’t fall out when you unscrew them all the way, and they will be held in right at the perfect spot at the top!
Optionally trim it to your particular socket length before pounding it in.

I use this sleeve to quickly screw on 1/4-20 nuts with my cordless impact driver and t-track clamps:
