Declutter Smarter: Why Gator Magnetics Crush Traditional Magnetic Hooks
Strong Magnetic Hooks: Exposing the Industry’s Little Secret
Magnetic hooks have long been praised for their holding strength, but here’s the industry's little secret: Traditional magnetic hooks often slide when placed on vertical steel surfaces. Why? The impressive “50 lbs.” weight claim you see on the packaging doesn’t tell the whole story.
Most people, when they read 'Holds 50 lbs.,’ assume the hook can easily hold 50 lbs. in the way they'd naturally hang things—on a vertical surface. But the truth is, those weight claims refer to a very different measurement.
The answer can be found on the back of the packaging in small print: Holding strength is measured by pull strength on thick steel surfaces. When magnetic hook weight capacity claims are made for a regular neodymium magnetic hook, they are touting pull force weight, which means the amount of force it takes to pull the magnet directly off at least a ½” thick steel surface. Let’s face it, nobody’s using magnets on half-inch steel slabs in their garage or workshop! When placed on thinner vertical steel, these hooks often fail, leaving your tools and gear in a frustrating heap on the floor.
Enter Gator Magnetics: A Game-Changer for Workshop Vertical Organization
Gator Magnetics new revolutionary magnetic technology changes the game. Unlike traditional magnetic hooks, Gator hooks are designed for shear force—how well they hold on to thin vertical steel surfaces without slipping. The result?
