Why this magnet stands out
Designed for precision workholding in tight spaces, this magnetic grab is ideal when you need a quick, repeatable hold for small components. The red enamel coating makes it easy to spot in busy workstations, helping you quickly identify fixtures and avoid mix-ups. Alnico magnet technology provides a stable magnetic field and reliable performance across a range of temperatures, making it a trustworthy choice for fixture builders and hobbyists alike. With a defined 1.5 lb pull in its compact footprint, you get just enough grip to keep parts in place without risking damage from over-strong holding force.
Ideal use cases
- Securing tiny components, pins, or screws during drilling, milling, or assembly
- Holding workpieces while you align fixtures or set jigs
- Temporary retention in educational labs or shop setups where space is at a premium
- Quick-release holds in fixtures that require reliable but not overpowering magnetism
Practical tips for best results
For optimal performance, ensure the contact surface is clean and free of debris before applying the magnet. Use the magnet as part of a simple fixture stack or alongside steel workpieces to maximize its intended hold. Given its fixed size and 1.5 lb pull, it’s ideal for precise positioning tasks where consistent retention matters more than brute force.
