Small tools require small magnets
17x4 mm. rubber magnets:
Scissors and screwdrivers are usually made of magnetic metal and can therefore hang directly on the magnet. Here we have put it separately, but the magnet is strong enough to have both parts hanging on the same magnet. That is you would also be able to hang several screwdrivers on the same magnet.
The ruler is assembled with a metal split so that it can hang magnetically directly on the magnet, but the regular magnet is made of plastic, and therefore we have put the magnet outside the ruler to be able to hang it up magnetically. And finally there is the package of screws, which are also magnetic. Therefore, we have been able to place a magnet directly on the metal plate, which the screws adhere to through the packaging. However, this cannot be done with aluminum screws.
Hook magnets:
At the bottom, we have hung a bag with screws in a Ø10 magnetic hook. And at the top we have hung a hearing protector on a Ø32 hook. The hearing protection does not need such a strong magnet, but it does provide a larger hook, which is useful for hanging many things on.
Ludo Maxi magnet:
It can be practical to have work gloves close at hand, and we have hung them up with a Ludo Maxi magnet on the outside.
17x12 mm. rubber magnets:
The pliers are a bit heavier and therefore hang on a slightly stronger rubber magnet. We also have balanced spirit levels on some 17x12 magnets - mostly because the height must be used to achieve full balance at the bottom, and then we have put a 22x6 mm. rubber magnet at the top, but there you could also choose to use a 17x12 mm. magnet for better stability/retention. It is also possible to glue a magnet on the spirit level directly - then only a magnet that can support 2-4 times the weight of the spirit level (to cope with the downward pull) must be used. However, this spirit level is not made magnetic and therefore balances on magnets instead, so it can still be easily taken down from the tool wall.
22x11 mm. rubber magnets:
Below we show the setup of things that are heavier and therefore require stronger magnets. The saw, the set of umbraco keys, the pop rivet pliers and the loose tool are all magnetic and can sit directly on each magnet. The drill set consists of a plastic box with a metal drill in it, and the magnet must therefore work through the plastic box, which is why a slightly stronger magnet is needed (distance weakens the magnetism). The magnet therefore sits directly on the board, and the box is then placed on top and works well magnetically. The top key and the loose umbraco keys are put together to show that you can also collect several pieces of tools on the same magnet by using a slightly stronger magnet.
22x6 mm. rubber magnets:
Our hammer is quite heavy so it needs 2 magnets on the back of the head. Next to it is a magnet to collect screws and nails (pick up screws and nails from the table and floor with the magnet and then put it on the board so that they are kept together and are easy to find when you need to use them again) .Finally, we have hung a top key set that is stuck in a rubber gasket, but where the magnet can catch the keys through the rubber. The set itself is not that heavy and could be content with hanging on a smaller magnet if there was direct contact between metal and magnet, but the rubber gasket creates a distance that requires stronger magnetic force.
Need guidance?
There is a big difference in how much tools weigh. We are happy to calculate and/or test for you what you need for your own tool wall. But it's always a good idea to have a few different magnets, as you quickly find many more things that you can organize smartly on your tool wall once you get started.
We are ready in customer service every weekday and will be happy to help you achieve your magnet project.
