Me thinks if he can that much crud from the floor onto the magnet just by dropping it, ------------- maybe he better sweep the bluddy floor, eh. ;-)

I've always just used a blast of compressed air, effective but not necessarily the safest or cleanest way of doing things.

Compressed air, outside, pointed down, glasses on!��

Keep it simple.Pull an old sock over your magnet .When you are done,,pull the sock off the magnet,,filings get dropped in a receptacle of your choice. Easy peasey :)

I keep my magnet in a plastic bag. Take the bag off, sweep the area, and and all the swarf falls into the bin.

Maybe he has a forge, Greenie! Even after sweeping, a magnet would catch that much, I bet, if I kicked it a yard or so!

Справедливое замечание Филип Дэвис. Так же много мелкой стружки и от абразивных кругов, которые налипают на магнитные угольники.

I just use my thumb and fore finger to push the crud to one corner then pinch it away from the magnet. Anything missed can be easily removed with my torch, by setting the flame to zero feather hold it near the edge of the magnet and give it a blast of the cutting oxygen. the crud will lose its attraction to a magnet at red and disintegrates as it is blown away the magnet is not hurt since the flame is always being moved in the direction, I am blowing the crud off.
But heck there have been times I probably had nearly that much metal crud in the skin of my hands and arms or under my fingernails
