Magnetic lifter holder

Has anyone heard of a magnetic lifter holder tool. It would be used in the lifter bores to hold the lifters in place while removing the cam. This would allow the intake to remain in place when doing cam swaps. Any help in locating one would be appreciated.
thanks,
Chris

Wouldn't you need sixteen of them instead of just one?

I've heard of positively retained lifters using spring like thingys to keep them in their bores, when the cam is out.
I've never heard of a magnetic version, tho.
Anybody have any info on this? Sounds useful.

Ok, I found them. A company that sells Ford products has a set of sixteen AFM Tappet tools for $64.00.
