Product Information

Full details

This blue 43mm Neodymium swivel hook is ideal for those needing versatile and effective holding solutions for various items. Its key benefit is a strong magnetic hold with 360-degree rotation, allowing for secure attachment from multiple angles. A potential caveat is that the maximum weight capacity is 2kg in a shear position, so it's best suited for lighter to moderately weighted items.

FAQs

What is the maximum weight this magnet can hold?

The magnet can support a weight of up to 2kg in a shear position.

Can this magnet be used on painted surfaces?

Yes, it can be used on painted metal surfaces, but the holding strength may be reduced depending on the thickness of the paint layer.

Will the rubber coating damage my surfaces?

No, the rubber coating is designed to increase friction and prevent marking or scratching of contact surfaces.

How do I clean the magnet?

Clean the magnet with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Does the hook swivel on its own, or does the entire magnet swivel?

The hook itself rotates 360 degrees on the magnetic base, allowing you to position it as needed.

What materials will this magnet stick to?

This neodymium magnet will stick to ferrous materials like steel and iron. It will not adhere to non-ferrous metals (e.g., aluminum, copper) or non-metallic surfaces (e.g., wood, plastic).

Is this magnet suitable for outdoor use?

While durable, prolonged outdoor exposure to moisture and elements may affect the magnet's performance and lifespan. It is best used in dry indoor environments.

Troubleshooting

Magnet not holding securely

Ensure the magnet is placed on a clean, flat, and ferrous metal surface. Wipe both the magnet and the surface to remove dust or debris. Check that the item being hung does not exceed the 2kg weight limit.

Hook is stiff to swivel

Gently rotate the hook back and forth. Ensure no debris has become lodged in the swivel mechanism. Do not force the movement.

Magnet leaving marks on surface

Ensure the rubber coating is clean and intact. Avoid dragging the magnet across the surface; lift and reposition instead. The rubber coating is designed to prevent marking, but excessive force or dirt can still cause issues.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Strong magnetic holding power (up to 2kg shear)
  • 360-degree swivel hook for versatile positioning
  • Rubber coating prevents surface damage
  • Durable and lightweight plastic construction
  • Suitable for a wide range of applications

Cons

  • Maximum weight capacity is 2kg in shear position; not suitable for very heavy items
  • Magnet strength can be reduced by thick or painted surfaces
  • Requires a ferromagnetic surface for attachment

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This magnet requires no setup. Simply place it on a clean, dry, ferromagnetic surface (like steel or iron). Ensure the surface is free from grease or dirt for optimal adhesion.

Compatibility:

  • Surface Material: Works best on clean steel or iron surfaces. It will not adhere to wood, plastic, plaster, or non-ferrous metals like aluminum or copper.
  • Surface Thickness: The holding power may be reduced if the metal surface is very thin or painted with thick layers.
  • Weight Load: Always adhere to the 2kg maximum weight capacity in a shear position. Avoid exceeding this limit to prevent detachment.

Care:

  • Clean the magnet and the surface it attaches to regularly with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • If storing for extended periods, keep it away from sensitive electronic devices and magnetic media.
  • Periodically check the rubber coating for any signs of wear or damage.
