When I was a kid my Dad made a magnet charger with some electrified copper coils would this be something that could be used to achieve similar results somehow? TIA (i.imgur.com)

Do you mean to use it to magnetize objects?

That’s correct!

Putting a tool in a powered coil will magnetize it temporarily but I don't think it will stay magnetic or at least not for long. They sell little magnetizers that you can get cheap that will last a lot longer though if that's what you're looking for..

I have one like this around somewhere that worked well when I tried it.
