It depends on what metal the screw is made of. Brass is non-magnetic, aluminum is non-magnetic, some kinds of stainless steel are non-magnetic. Most other metals that a screw might be made of are magnetic.

  • Pitch fork, yes, but not the wooden handle
  • Fork in the road, no, it is made of asphalt.
  • Silver fork, no.
  • Stainless steel fork, maybe. Some stainless steel alloys are magnetic some aren't.
  • Plastic fork, no.
  • Pickle fork (for removing ball joints), yes.

It will attract a magnet only if the fork has iron in its' make up.

That will depend on the metal used for the fork. Only mild steel will become magnetic.

Most forks are made of brass or nickel alloys, or silver (posh ones). None of these metals can be magnetized.
