    摘要: Disclosed is an improved fastening system that leverages magnetism to assist in the installation of a fastener. The system may include an axially magnetized insert adapted to be secured within a bore in a surrounding material. The insert may be composed of a material having a magnetic permeability that is higher than that of the surrounding material. The insert may include a helical threaded interior surface adapted to receive a ferromagnetic screw. When placed in proximity of the insert, the tip of the screw is pulled into and held in alignment with the insert by the magnetic field emanating from the magnet. The fastening system may be particularly beneficial in environments where positioning or holding the screw in the starting position is difficult.
