neo mags will stick to nickel a bit better, but still not as well as something ferric like steel. the “fake” strips that are plated steel might work better, though they’ll have worse conductivity so you’d want to increase the dimensions to compensate.
Just crimped mate, no solder. Tedium.

interesting, seems basic but could be inexpensive.

That’s really interesting! They’re going to need to offer smaller diameter versions for sharper curves though.

honestly that would be a great diy project to learn arduino and encoders with basic code plus use up some random skate wheel.
Here’s a great comparison video between different hex keys

@Sebas Thank you for posting this.
my TL;DW: buy Wera Hex Plus if you use small sizes (like grub screws) or Wiha if you only mostly use larger size wrenches.

If you don’t need the rainbow version, the black works just as well and is a few bucks cheaper.

Also, the rainbow ones have individual replacements if you need to buy just one replacement wrench or just get a few popular sizes like 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm, 4mm
out of context this sounds wild

I agree with Justin but I might add the rainbow is actually a really nice feature. It’s really easy to find “the neon green one” in the drawer versus looking for the 2.5mm one. Those few bucks aren’t wasted.
