Product Information

Full details

This set of 3 US PRO Tools Collapsible Magnetic Parts Trays is designed for mechanics, DIY enthusiasts, and anyone working with small metal components during maintenance or repair. The key benefit is keeping nuts, bolts, screws, and washers securely in place, preventing loss and saving time. A potential caveat is that the magnetic strength is optimized for standard fasteners and may not hold extremely heavy items or in high-vibration environments. The trays are made from oil-resistant silica gel and ABS, feature strong magnets for attachment to ferrous surfaces, and collapse for easy storage.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What are the dimensions of each tray?

The set includes a Large tray (278 x 178 x 45mm), a Medium tray (158 x 132 x 45mm), and a Small tray (135 x 80 x 45mm). When collapsed, the depth of each tray is 15mm.

Are these trays waterproof?

The trays are made from oil-resistant silica gel and ABS, which can handle exposure to workshop fluids. While not fully waterproof, they are resistant to common oils and greases found in mechanical work.

How strong are the magnets?

The magnets are strong enough to hold standard nuts, bolts, screws, and washers securely to a ferrous surface. They are designed for workshop use and may not hold extremely heavy items or withstand significant vibration.

Can these trays be used on non-metal surfaces?

No, the magnetic feature requires a ferrous (magnetic) metal surface to attach. They will not adhere to plastic, wood, glass, or aluminum.

How do I clean the trays?

Wipe them clean with a damp cloth. For tougher grease or oil, a mild soap and water solution can be used, followed by a thorough rinse and drying.

What is the benefit of the collapsible design?

The collapsible design allows the trays to be flattened to a depth of 15mm, making them significantly easier to store in toolboxes, drawers, or bags when not in use, saving valuable space.

What materials are the trays made from?

The trays are manufactured from oil-resistant silica gel and ABS plastic.

Troubleshooting

Trays not sticking to surface

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and made of a ferrous (magnetic) metal. Remove any dirt, oil, or debris from both the surface and the tray's magnets. Test with another magnet to confirm surface magnetism.

Components falling out of the tray

Verify that the tray is on a level surface. For very small or numerous parts, consider using multiple trays or a larger size. Ensure the magnets are securely holding the tray itself.

Tray material feels sticky or attracts dust

Wipe the tray with a slightly damp cloth to remove dust and residue. Allow to air dry completely before collapsing or storing. Avoid placing in excessively dusty environments.

Trays are difficult to collapse

Gently flex the edges of the tray while pushing down. Ensure no small parts are lodged in the collapsible folds. If stiffness persists, check for any foreign debris within the folds.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Keeps small metal parts organized and prevents loss.
  • Magnetic base attaches securely to metal work surfaces.
  • Durable, oil-resistant materials suitable for workshops.
  • Collapsible design allows for compact storage.
  • Set includes multiple sizes for various tasks.
  • Helps maintain a clean and efficient workspace.

Cons

  • Magnets may not be strong enough for very heavy components.
  • Effectiveness can be reduced on heavily painted or non-ferrous surfaces.
  • Collapsed depth might still be too large for extremely confined storage.
  • Silica gel can potentially pick up fine dust particles if not cleaned.
  • Requires a ferrous surface for magnetic attachment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No assembly is required. Simply expand the trays to their full depth before use. The trays are ready to use out of the box.

Compatibility: These trays are designed to attach to any ferrous (magnetic) metal surface. This includes steel toolboxes, car bonnets, engine bays, and metal workbenches. They are not designed for use on plastic, wood, or aluminum surfaces.

Care: To maintain the trays, wipe them clean with a damp cloth after each use, especially if exposed to oils or grease. Avoid using harsh solvents. The oil-resistant construction aids in easy cleaning. When collapsed, store them flat to preserve their shape.
