FAQs
What is the weight capacity of the magnetic pad?
The pad can hold up to 12kg, but this capacity is also dependent on the strength of the magnetic attraction to the specific metal surface it's attached to.
Can I use this on non-metal surfaces?
No, the pad relies on its magnets to adhere to ferrous metal surfaces. It will not stick to plastic, wood, or aluminum.
How do I clean the magnetic tool pad?
You can easily wipe it clean with a damp cloth. For stubborn grease or oil, use a mild detergent and water, then dry thoroughly.
What are the dimensions of the tool pad?
The dimensions of the pad are 310 x 250mm with a thickness of 8mm.
Is the magnetic material embedded or exposed?
The 83 magnets are sewn into the pad, protected by the PVC leather-look material, preventing direct exposure.
Can this be used for electrical work?
Yes, it is suitable for electrical work as it helps organize small screws, connectors, and tools, keeping them from getting lost around electrical components.
Troubleshooting
Tools sliding off the pad
Ensure the metal surface is clean and dry. For very heavy tools or extreme angles, redistribute the weight or use a secondary support.
Pad not sticking well
Verify that the surface is made of a ferrous metal (magnetic). Clean the surface and the back of the pad. Check for any debris obstructing the magnets.
Pad material feels stiff or brittle
This might occur in extreme cold. Allow the pad to warm to room temperature before use. Avoid storing in very low temperatures.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No complex setup is required. Simply place the magnetic tool pad on any clean, flat ferrous metal surface where you intend to work. Ensure the surface is free of significant debris that could interfere with the magnetic bond.
Compatibility: This pad is compatible with any task involving ferrous metal surfaces. It is ideal for use with automotive vehicles, motorcycles, bicycles, metal workbenches, machinery, and any environment where tools and small parts need to be temporarily secured.
Care: To maintain the pad's performance and appearance:
- Cleaning: Wipe the surface regularly with a damp cloth. For tougher grime like grease or oil, use a mild soap and water solution, then wipe dry.
- Storage: Store flat in a dry place when not in use to prevent damage to the magnets or the material.
- Avoid Sharp Objects: While durable, avoid prolonged contact with sharp objects that could puncture or tear the PVC surface.
