This guide is for professionals and hobbyists needing strong, compact holding solutions in space-limited environments. The FIRST4Magnetic N42 Neodymium Clamping Magnet offers a remarkable 36.4kg clamping force, ideal for temporary fixtures and workshops. A key caveat is its unsuitability for underwater applications. This magnet features a robust steel pot construction for enhanced adhesion, durable Neodymium (N42) magnets, and an integrated M6 eyebolt for versatile attachment.

The magnet provides a clamping force of 36.4kg. This is a theoretical maximum under ideal conditions (clean, flat steel surface, direct pull). Actual holding force can vary based on surface conditions, material thickness, and the direction of the pull.
No, this magnet is not suitable for underwater applications. Exposure to moisture can lead to corrosion and significantly degrade its performance and lifespan.
N42 refers to the grade of the Neodymium magnet, indicating its magnetic strength. N42 is a high-performance grade, signifying strong magnetic properties for its size.
You can place the magnetic face directly onto a compatible ferrous surface. For lifting or suspending items, use the integrated M6 eyebolt to attach ropes, chains, or hooks.
When used as intended, it should not permanently damage steel surfaces. However, repeated sliding or heavy impacts could potentially cause minor cosmetic scratches over time. The magnet itself is designed to resist chipping from normal contact.
The eyebolt is designed to match the magnet's intended use. While suitable for most temporary fixturing and light lifting applications, ensure it is securely attached and do not exceed the magnet's rated holding force when using the eyebolt for lifting.
Neodymium magnets are very strong but can lose magnetism if exposed to extreme heat (above 80°C/176°F) or if physically damaged. If the magnet is not holding as it should, check for damage, extreme temperature exposure, or contamination on the magnetic face.
Ensure the magnetic surface is clean and free of dirt or grease. Verify that the object being attracted is made of a ferrous material (like steel) and is sufficiently thick. Check that the magnet is in direct contact with the surface, without any non-magnetic material in between.
Carefully tighten the eyebolt. If it spins freely, it may have been cross-threaded during a previous attempt. Discontinue use if the eyebolt cannot be securely fastened to prevent potential failure.
This indicates the magnet has been exposed to moisture. Immediately dry the magnet thoroughly. For minor surface rust, you may be able to gently clean it with a soft cloth. However, significant corrosion will permanently damage the magnet's performance and indicates it should no longer be used, especially if moisture exposure is ongoing.
Setup: The integrated M6 eyebolt allows for easy attachment. Simply screw in a compatible bolt or hook to the eyebolt. Ensure the eyebolt is securely fastened before applying load.
Compatibility: This magnet requires a clean, flat ferrous surface (e.g., steel) to achieve its maximum holding force. The magnetic field extends approximately 1-2 inches, with the strongest pull directly on the magnet's face.
