Strong Hand Tools Magnetic Square, On/Off Switch, Max Pull Force: 90

I am a fabricator and do only custom high-end custom work now. These things are great. If someone is looking for percision tools at this price range they should probably try craigslist or offer up. . You can machine these and make them as precise as your tools and skills will let you. The strength is amazing! Once again for the price point. Magnets will never be “strong” When pulled at an Ingle or Dragon. But this will definitely hold your jogging in place. but it will not compensate for poor fitting. As others have stated, I will not go back to the red magnets As others have stated, I will not member go back to the red magnets. I will do a weight test later and see if I can post some pictures or a video.

I’ve had 2 of these for over a year and they still work great. Surprised they went from 17$ to 40$ each in a year. But they’re great little magnets. The on/off switch is very useful too.

Great magnet for welders who fabricate great ideas. I am a hobbyist welder and I like the ease of placing the magnet (off position) on the material being welded. I turn the switch on, and what do you know it holds the item you are welding perfectly. I was skeptic, who heard of a magnet turning on and off or was this another gimmick. Well it works and I look forward to making good use out of it.

Strong? Pretty strong. Could it be stronger? Sure could. as you get to the ends of the triangle the magnetic fields become weak. I was holding up large square tubing. 1.75x1.75" - 11 gauge 3' long and it was having a hard time when other pieces needed to be held to the large square tubing because the magnetic field became weak at the ends. I love the electromagnetic feature. Turn off the magnet and clean. I also like that I can take my time to set it right where I want it before activating the magnet. the switch is HARD to press to turn on. Caused me to lose exact setting from time to time. Over all good product and made my job a million times easier.

Love the fact that they are controlled with a switch. I have a a different brand that is on all the time, and it builds up with so many particles and is impossible to clean. So these are great for that. Overall they work well. Is the holding power great?...not really. I purchased the model stating 90lb holding force. I would say that is greatly over exaggerated. I have no way of testing this, but it struggles to hold a piece of angle 1.25” 1/8” thick square and vertical to another piece. They do work and help out, but you still have to use lots of clamps. I don’t think I would purchase these again.

Highly recommend this I use this for a a lot of reasons and have had no issues with it so far. I love the switch makes it easier to clean I am a welder/fitter so metal shavings is everywhere I might just have to pick up some more of these

There are many magnets for welding but what sets this one apart is the ON/OFF switch. Bits of metal and slag don't stick to it when it is "off" like other magnets. The size is perfect for my portable welding table. Did a couple projects with 2 inch square tubing and they worked out great. Bought two of them. Price is right. Quality is fine.
