FAQs

What is the maximum weight the magnet can hold?

The magnet has a maximum theoretical pull force of 110kg under ideal conditions (vertical pull on a thick, flat mild steel surface). Actual holding power will vary based on the application and the material being attracted.

What is the weight capacity of the included rope?

The included 10-meter polyester rope has a weight capacity of 420kg, making it suitable for use with this magnet.

How should I handle such a powerful magnet safely?

Always handle the magnet with extreme care. Keep fingers, skin, and electronic devices away from the magnetic surface. Allow the magnet to connect to a ferrous surface slowly. Store it safely when not in use to prevent accidental attraction.

Can this magnet be used underwater?

Yes, this magnet is suitable for underwater use, making it ideal for magnet fishing and retrieving submerged items. Ensure all connections are secure before submersion.

What is the function of the recessed design?

The recessed design means the magnet is slightly protected within the steel shell. This reduces the likelihood of direct impacts to the magnet, minimizing chipping and preserving its strength and lifespan.

Can I replace the eyebolt with a different type of fitting?

Yes, the M10 eyebolt is threaded and can be removed. You can replace it with other M10 compatible fittings or attachments as needed for your specific application, provided they are rated for the forces involved.

Troubleshooting

Magnet not attracting strongly

Ensure the surface is clean, flat, and made of thick mild steel. The magnet's pull is reduced on thin, painted, or rough surfaces, or if there is a gap between the magnet and the object.

Eyebolt feels loose

Carefully screw the eyebolt in until it is firmly seated. Ensure the threads are clean and undamaged. Do not overtighten.

Rope shows signs of wear

Inspect the rope regularly for fraying or damage. Replace the rope immediately if any wear is observed to ensure safety during use.

Magnet difficult to detach

Slide the magnet off the surface rather than pulling directly. Using a thin piece of wood or plastic as a lever can help create a small gap to break the magnetic seal.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely powerful for its compact size.
  • Durable construction with a recessed magnet design.
  • Versatile with a removable M10 eyebolt.
  • Includes a long, high-strength rope.
  • Ideal for magnet fishing and heavy-duty retrieval.

Cons

  • Requires careful handling due to extreme magnetic force.
  • Maximum pull force is dependent on specific surface conditions.
  • Can be a pinching hazard if not handled with care.
  • Not suitable for use near sensitive electronic equipment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The M10 eyebolt can be screwed into the threaded housing on the magnet. The included 10-meter polyester rope should be securely attached to the eyebolt. For optimal security, use a Tautline Hitch knot to tie the rope to the eyebolt, preventing slippage when the magnet is under tension.

Compatibility: This magnet is designed to attract ferrous metals (iron, nickel, cobalt, and their alloys). Its effectiveness depends on the thickness and surface area of the ferrous material it attaches to. It is not compatible with non-ferrous materials like aluminum, copper, or plastic.

Care: Store the magnet in a dry place, away from other magnetic materials or sensitive electronic devices. To clean, use a soft, dry cloth. Avoid exposing the magnet to excessive heat or moisture. Always handle with care, keeping fingers and sensitive items away from the magnetic surface to prevent pinching or damage.
