In A & P school we used to throw fasteners into automotive style bowls with the magnet in the bottom. Our instructor required we demonstrate that no magnetism had affected the required fasteners. To our surprise, all had slight magnetism and had to be discarded when attached to turbine powerplants.
Electronics techs have their own set of plastic (non metallic) drivers. Deguss meters were used to confirm the transfer of force field to the fasteners.

I'm not sure what you mean by HARD DRIVE???
As for using a screwdriver with a magnetic tip on instruments ... WHERE on
the instrument? Even as an EXPERIMENTAL plane you are not allowed to go inside
avionics. Unless they are experimental avionics but you would probably void
the warranty if you did. As for the MOUNTING SCREWS, they should be
nonmagnetic, either brass or S/S. So, as you might guess a magnetic screw driver won't
help.
If you have analog CDIs I would keep magnets away from them as well as any
electrical analog gage/meter; just as a common practices.

Rocky Mountain MicroEncoder is a kit you solder together yourself.

Dave,
You can also buy the uEncoder fully assembled. It just costs more. I suggest buying a used one. You can find them used for about $500. Parts are cheap. I bought mine from Jerry Carter. I got it with the optional compass module. I paid $500. Jerry accidently scratched the screen during a removal. I purchased a replacement screen from RMI. What do you think it cost????
$100?
Try $24.95! What a deal. I haven't even installed it yet, because the scratch is barely noticeable. One is for sale on Doug Reeves site. See
