FAQs

What is the primary benefit of this magnet?

The primary benefit is its ability to attach, detach, and move cables or objects instantly without drilling or adhesives, saving significant time during installations and refits.

Does the rubber coating serve a purpose?

Yes, the rubber coating protects surfaces from scratches and also increases the magnet's weight-bearing capacity.

What type of surface is required for this magnet to work?

The magnet requires a steel (ferrous metal) surface to attach securely.

Can this magnet be used outdoors?

While it can be used temporarily, prolonged exposure to moisture and extreme weather conditions is not recommended as it may affect the magnet's performance and durability.

How much weight can one magnet support?

Each magnet is capable of supporting a specific weight in a vertical position against a steel surface. Consult product specifications for the exact weight limit, as it can vary.

Will this magnet damage painted surfaces?

The rubber coating is designed to protect surfaces from scratches. However, on very delicate or freshly painted surfaces, test in an inconspicuous area first if concerned.

How should I clean the magnet?

Wipe the magnet with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or submerging it in water.

Troubleshooting

Magnet not holding securely

Ensure the steel surface is clean, flat, and free from rust or paint. Verify the surface is indeed steel (ferrous). Check that the magnet's rubber coating is clean and undamaged.

Rubber coating is damaged

If the rubber coating is significantly torn or detached, the magnet's protective and weight-bearing capabilities may be compromised. Consider replacing the magnet.

Cable clamp is loose

Ensure the cable is properly seated within the clamp. For persistent looseness, consider using additional cable ties or securing methods if the clamp alone is insufficient for the cable's diameter.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • No drilling or adhesives required
  • Fast and easy to reposition cables
  • Protects surfaces from scratches
  • Reduces installation and refit times
  • Provides a secure hold on steel surfaces

Cons

  • Weight capacity is limited and should be confirmed for specific loads
  • Requires a steel surface for magnetic attachment
  • May not be suitable for extremely heavy or critical wiring runs
  • Effectiveness can be reduced on painted or non-ferrous surfaces

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply place the magnet onto a clean, flat steel surface where you wish to attach a cable or object. Ensure the steel surface is free from dust or grease for optimal magnetic adhesion. Attach your cables or wiring to the integrated clamp.

Compatibility: This magnet requires a ferrous metal (steel) surface for effective attachment. It is compatible with most standard steel surfaces found in offices, workshops, and retail spaces. The clamp is designed to hold typical electrical wiring and cables.

Care: To maintain performance, wipe the magnet with a dry or slightly damp cloth periodically. Avoid exposing the magnet to excessive moisture, extreme temperatures, or harsh chemicals, which could degrade the rubber coating or magnetic strength. Store in a clean, dry place when not in use.
