The Multi-Purpose Magnetic Tool Organizer

A versatile magnetic tool bar is a simple and efficient means for keeping an array of metal tools neat, organized, and easy to locate. A perfect choice for those craftsmen in need of tidying a cluttered workbench, while having all frequently used tools close to hand.

A combi tool holder and magnetic strip, with quality construction, is design to accept all metal tools (often up to 10lbs in weight), so able to secure drill bits, hex wrench, screwdriver, clamps or pliers with ease.

Mounting options for a tool rack of this nature include attaching to a wall space, work bench, ladder, or shelf, while all installation hardware often coming pre-packaged for complete ease in set-up. In addition, to protect the metal tools, the frame of the holder is powder coated to avoid scratches.

Size wise, a magnetic holder comes manufactured in several lengths, often in the region of 8 to 24-inches, with a width at 1 to 2-inches, and an ability to hold a total limit of 240lbs. A multi-functional strip often features a series of hooks or loops to aid in holding tools that aren't magnetic.

In addition to the magnetic tool bars, a rectangular or circular tray for loose parts is ideal to place nuts, bolts, or screws while at work on a workbench. Magnetic bowls, constructed with a strong internal magnet, is perfect to avoid loosing small parts.

A compete portable solution is found with the strap-on magnetic holders, which come with a comfortable strap, powerful magnet, Velcro loop, and a sufficiently sized load space to accept drill parts, screws, and driver tips. Its resilient strap offers an option to attach to wrist or tool handle to ensure all parts are within easy reach at all times.

A well-made magnetic strip is an ideal investment for those needing to eliminate clutter, and to avoid loosing tools in a workshop, garage, or kitchen environment.
