The improved workman's wrist band includes an elongated preferably rectangular, flexible resilient strip of woven cloth or the like having opposite end portions and a central portion. To the upper surface of one end portion of the strip is connected an adhesive patch bearing one of a) hooks and b) hook receptors. To the underside of the strip in the opposite end portion is connected an adhesive patch bearing the other of a) hooks and b) velcro-type hook receptors. The patches are used to enable the strip to be releasably affixed around the wrist of a workman. The band also includes a cushion connected to and depending from the underside of the central portion of the strip and having a permanent magnet disposed therein. The magnet releasably holds workman's items such as nails, screws and the like magnetically attracted by the magnet to the upper surface of the central portion of the band for easy access and use. The band is particularly useful for holding nails used in affixing horseshoes to equines. The magnet can be a circular disc or of a different shape and can consist of a plurality of magnetic units magnetically held together for articulation of the magnet for improved wrist comfort. The cushion can have an openable pocket for the magnet so that it can be removed and replaced as needed. The opposite ends of the band can be looped over the central portion of the band to cover nails and the like for transport.
