The DGSL magnetic tool holder strips offer a practical way to clear clutter from workbenches and drawers. These 12-inch bars are built using a cold-rolled carbon steel channel, which provides the necessary rigidity to support several hand tools simultaneously. While the magnetic strength is significant for items like pliers and wrenches, the physical reality of a vertical mount means that very heavy or oddly shaped tools may shift if they lack a flat surface to grip. The use of ceramic magnets ensures the strip maintains its magnetic properties even in the high heat of a summer garage.
Reliability and Setup
The durable powder coating on these strips is slightly thicker than average, which helps provide a small amount of friction to reduce tool sliding. Despite the sturdy build of the bars themselves, the included anchors are best suited for light-duty tasks. For a truly secure setup that can handle a full load of tools, it is best to drive longer stainless steel screws directly into wall studs. This approach supports the weight more effectively and prevents the strip from pulling away from the wall over time.
- The U-channel frame is designed to protect the internal magnets from cracking during use.
- Compact 12-inch dimensions allow for flexible mounting inside cabinet doors or on the ends of tool carts.
- Materials are rated to maintain magnetic performance in temperatures up to 250°C.
For those managing a larger inventory of equipment, the 6-pack magnetic bar set provides additional mounting options for extensive tool walls.
