About Gator Magnetics
Our Story
It started in a garage—with a determined founder and his nephew who envisioned solving this problem: Traditional magnetic hooks always slip and slide when you hang anything heavy on them. That spark of curiosity led to late-night tinkering, endless sketches, and prototype after prototype. The result? A breakthrough combination of magnetic technology and a lever system that reimagined how magnetic hooks should work. Joined by friends and family we became a team of problem-solvers, all driven to bring this revolutionary idea to life. We landed on a smarter, stronger, and more flexible magnetic hook that magnetically hangs, holds, and organizes even the heaviest tools, gear, and everyday essentials. With our final designs in place and performance validated, we launched our proprietary, patented magnetic products—and everything changed. Gator Magnetics was born. Our debut at the National Hardware Show earned us the Retailer Choice Award, putting our innovation instantly on the map. Today, Gator Magnetics is transforming how people organize their garages, workshops, sheds, and beyond. And yes, we’re still inventing, still improving, and always thinking of what’s next.

Let's Be Clear...
Gator Hooks are not just magnetic hooks (frankly, traditional magnetic hooks don't really work as a hook should). Instead, Gator Magnetic Hooks are a patented technology that incorporates and transforms magnets... resulting in an incredibly unique product with unparalleled holding power. Who would have thought storage could be so fascinating? We are excited for the Gator Revolution.
