Magnets

Magnets are an essential part of any DIYer's toolbox. They make cleanup a breeze after woodworking projects to find any lost nails or other fasteners. They're also great to use after working with metal during welding, jewelry making, or shaping any custom fittings. Keep your workshop safe by pulling up any tiny metal pieces with a big magnet.

Magnetic Metals: Not every metal can be attracted by magnets. Iron and nickel are magnetic, along with some types of steel and stainless steel. Other common types of metal aren't, so they won't be pulled or sorted into place with any size magnet.

Quick Metal Cleanup: For fasteners that are magnetic, it's helpful to keep a strong magnet on hand. Stop worrying about missing extra screws, bolts, washers, or small parts. It's easy to lose them in sawdust, cracks in the concrete, or shadowy corners. But a magnet can pick them right up and save you time and effort. Sweep a magnet over your workspace at regular intervals to cut down on stray metal shavings and metal splinters too.

Magnet Types: Magnetic hooks are another useful item to have around the house. Stick them to refrigerators, tool chests, or metal storage closets. Simply use magnetic hooks instead of installing hooks permanently. Small magnets work as temporary but reliable fasteners, so you can keep any paperwork visibly posted and easy to move. We carry a variety of magnets to fit your style and hold any memos or drawings at eye level.

Wall Studs and Magnets: Another use for strong magnets is hanging items on a wall. It's important to drill into studs for maximum stability and support of shelves, towel bars, and heavy wall decor. Magnets can help you mark the studs. They'll cling to the drywall screws, showing you exactly where they are inside the wall. You can even leave the magnets there while you're working instead of marking the stud location with a pencil.

Knowing the uses of magnets both big and small means you're sure to find some that suit your needs. Whether you're using a strong magnet to keep your workspace clean or a regular magnet to hold papers up on a fridge, we have what you're looking for. Shop for all kinds of magnets today.
