Tool magnetic strip question

>Does anyone use a magnetic strip to "hang" tools from? You might be familiar with the type of setup David Marks used and talked about on Wood Works.
If you do use them, where do you get them? I tried a couple from Harbor freight, and I honestly think refrigerator magnets are stronger! I'm certainly not counting on those to hold my expensive tools.

>I think that this is a singularly BAD idea. You will magnitize (sp?) the tool and when you sharpen you will have fine filings clinging to it.

>I use several of these and think they are great. The ones I have were manufactured in Castle Rock Colorado and I got most of them in a local tool store. Some of the tools have been magnetized and I don't find it to be a problem, even with the tools for the metal working lathe.
