Magnetic Hooks

Magnetic Hooks are ideal for increasing storage capacity.

Sheds and workshops also usually have iron walls or metal structures that magnetic hooks can attach to. Steel gates and fences on rural properties can be ideal attachment locations for magnetic hooks. When you need to run cables, leads or hoses for an outdoor event, hook magnets make it easy to do safely; elevating them to a location away from foot traffic while also allowing vehicle access.

Pot Magnets are strong, durable and easy to install.

The steel casing around the strong Neodymium magnet protects the magnetic hook from impact damage and corrosion. DIY installation is simple and does not require tools or the usual penetrative fasteners that damage surfaces and can potentially cause water or rain ingress to occur. Protecting painted or sealed surfaces can be done by placing a thin piece of felt or cloth on the base of the magnet, however, the air gap and reduced surface contact this creates will, to some extent, also reduce the magnet’s overall holding ability. The thickness and quality of the steel surface you attach a magnetic hook onto will also affect how strongly it bonds and how much weight it can hold. A larger magnetic hook with a wider diameter base may be needed to compensate for lower quality steel in the metal surface you want your magnetic hook to bond with.
