Be sure to add me to your favorites list!
Satisfaction guaranteed or your purchase price will be cordially refunded upon return of merchandise.
5" from point to back 7 1/2" across.
Fits round pipe, angle iron, or square tubing.
You can build a pipe fence using two of these magnets. They will hold up a heavy pipe between two post, and will keep on holding them while your are making sure they are level and straight.
If you are building a trailer, these magnets will hold the angle iron or pipe at ninety degrees while you tack weld the pieces together.
Long before they came out with these magnets, I used to build a trailer every once in awhile.
Made my set up secure with "C" clamps and I am using the word secure very loosely, because before I would get it tacked, the phone would ring or I would have to leave to do something else for a couple of minutes.
I don't know how, but when I would come back to my set-up, something would be crooked.
I can secure two pieces of angle iron with these magnets, and the pieces will still be in line when I come back from the phone or wherever.
These magnets are an excellent third hand. These are the largest magnets of this type that I have been able to find.
Every welder in the world is going to have some of these magnets once they find out how handy they are.
These magnets make good fishing magnets. You can go down to Lowe's and purchase a cable to put thru the hole in the magnet, and also purchase the crimping hardware to make it good and secure. Makes a neat unit.
You can go fishing with these strong magnets. You may not catch a whole lot of bass, but if you drag your magnet behind your boat, you may find a gun, a knife, and no telling how many fishing lures.
Do not drill, cut or grind on the magnets.
I sometimes work on tools or equipment in the backyard, and if I drop small part in the grass as often happens, it is almost impossible to find it, but you can drag your magnet around the area and you will invariably find your small part.
Some of the scrap yards put these magnets on their conveyors to separate the ferrous metals from the non-ferrous metals. Saves a lot of time and energy.
If you hang some of these on the front of your lawnmower, you will find most of the nails, screws, pieces of wire or other iron that has been thrown or dropped into your yard.
If you roof your house or you have someone roof your house, there will be rusty nails, and probably some shiny new ones also dropped into your yard.
When you mow, one of those nails can knock a car windshield out, or may imbed a nail into your leg or some kid's eye.
Magnets hanging on the front of your mower may solve that.
I use magnets in my shop. I put one on the top of my drill press, so I can just pitch my chuck key in the general direction of the magnet and it will be there the next time I need it.
I also put some drill bits that I frequently use on this same magnet. That way they are always in sight. I do not have to go digging and hunting for a drill bit.
If I lay my chuck key on my workbench, I probably will not find it this month.
Since it is always hanging on the magnet on the top of my drill press, I never have to wonder where it is.
I do the same with the chuck key to my lathe. It is a fairly large chuck key, but I put a magnet on the lathe and my chuck key is always on the magnet, always handily in sight and easy reach.
I put magnets on some of the rafters and studs in my shop, and I hang special tools on them.
Many chuck keys and tools will not hang on a hook. Open end wrenches do not readily hang on a hook or a nail, but they will always hang on a magnet.
Many mechanics and tool repairmen keep a magnet on their workbench to keep parts from being lost from their bench. You can put your parts in a bowl or a bucket, but the bowl or bucket will probably get turned over and the parts will scatter.
Use a magnet and this will not happen.
Find studs in your house with a magnet. The magnet will find the nails in the studs.
Some, that I know down around Aransas Pass go out to the fishing piers every morning and fish around with their magnet.
They know that there are fishermen on the piers all night long, fishing, drinking beer and horse playing. Sometiumes more beer drinking and horse playing than fishing.
The boys with the magnets sometimes come up with a fresh rod and reel. One that was dropped into the water the night before.
I was rolling my power plant thru the grass to the back yard the other day and the wheel fell off. The little "C" retainer that holds the wheel on had come loose and fallen into the grass. There was no way to see the little bitty part, but I got a magnet and quickly retrieved the part. The part may not have cost but 50 cents, but it would have meant a trip thru heavy traffic to the hardware store and back.
