Draper Multi-Purpose Magnetic Holder - 24577

This holder is designed for ferrous metals, such as iron and steel. It will not hold non-ferrous materials like aluminum, copper, or plastic.

The product description indicates a 'strong magnet' designed for holding workpieces during soldering or welding. Specific weight capacity is not detailed, but it's intended for typical metal fabrication tasks.

The holder offers working angles of 30°, 45°, 60°, 75°, 90°, and 135°.

While it provides a strong hold for its size, it's best suited for smaller to medium-sized workpieces in soldering and lighter welding applications. For very heavy materials, a more robust fixture might be necessary.

Wipe the magnetic surfaces with a dry or slightly damp cloth after each use. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.

It can adhere to painted ferrous surfaces, but the paint thickness will reduce the magnetic strength. For best results, use on bare or lightly coated metal.

The dimensions are approximately 15.20cm x 11.30cm x 2.10cm, and it weighs 0.31kg.

Ensure the magnetic contact surfaces on both the holder and the workpiece are clean, dry, and free from metal shavings, oil, or paint. Check that the workpiece is made of a ferrous metal and has a flat surface for full contact. Verify that the holder is placed on a flat, sufficiently thick ferrous base.

This can happen if the magnetic surface is contaminated or if the workpiece is too heavy for the holder's capacity. Clean all surfaces thoroughly. Re-evaluate the weight of the workpiece and consider if it exceeds the holder's effective holding strength. Ensure the chosen angle setting is properly engaged.

Ensure you are disengaging the angle lock correctly. If resistance is high, check for any debris in the angle mechanism. Apply steady pressure to pivot to the desired angle.
