I must recant one of my previous statements on the list, aluminum blind 
nuts, and send my apologies to Lubos the builder of the Eraser that I have. 
Messing about in my hobby room this morning I had the idea pop into my head 
again about the soft metal of the Eraser's blind nuts.  Why not see if they 
are magnetic, "I said to myself"?

So, I took a small refrigerator magnet I had on the work lamp shade to hold 
needles for opening CA bottles and popping MoneyKote bubbles.  Low and 
behold it was attracted to the nut!!  Seems the metal must be steel of some 
type.  Don't know what the metallurgy is, but they still seem to be very 
soft since they stripped easily.  Never the less if they are magnetic, they 
must not be aluminum as I previously surmised.
