Magnetic garage hooks

Items you can hang on the garage hooks

Depending on the hook size and the magnitude of the displacement force, you will be able to hang various pieces of equipment and tools on them. Use the magnetic garage hooks to store items such as shovels, rakes, brooms, hammers, power tools, garden hoses, leaf blowers, tennis rackets and much more. You can find application examples on the respective product pages.

Here are the advantages of magnetic garage hooks over screw-mounted garage hooks

• To mount conventional garage hooks, you need to drill a hole in the desired location, permanently attaching the hook in that same spot. In contrast, magnetic garage hooks can be easily repositioned if you acquire new tools. Thanks to the magnets, you can reorganise your tool collection in just a few simple steps.
• Using magnets allows you to also make efficient use of underutilised ferromagnetic surfaces where you do not wish to drill. This is a major advantage, particularly in rental properties.

Frequently asked questions about magnetic garage hooks

Do magnetic garage hooks leave scratches?

No, our magnetic garage hooks do not leave scratches on surfaces. The garage hooks in our assortment are fitted with rubberised magnet systems or feature a folding mechanism that detaches the magnet effortlessly. The rubber coating protects surfaces from scratches. As major added advantage, the displacement force is increased because the rubber enhances friction against the surface. You can find further information on our magnet systems in our category 'Magnet Systems', as well as in our guides on the characteristics of magnet systems and Gator Magnetics products.

Can magnetic garage hooks be used on painted metal surfaces?

For painted metal surfaces, check whether the remaining displacement force is sufficient to support the object you intend to hang. Due to their design, magnet systems lose a significant amount of adhesive force even at a short distance from the ferromagnetic surface. Ideally, the magnet system should rest directly and fully against the surface, which should be smooth and of sufficient thickness. This allows the magnet systems to achieve their full adhesive force.

How much weight can magnetic garage hooks hold?

The weight a magnetic garage hook can support depends on the ferromagnetic surface and the displacement force of the magnets. The displacement force is specified on the respective product page. Magnetic hooks from the Gator Magnetics brand, for instance, can hold items weighing up to 20 kg. Whereas the magnetic hooks with double hook can support equipment weighing up to 11 kg.

If you are looking for additional versatile hanging solutions that do not require drilling, the product group 'All Magnetic Hooks' lists all of the hook magnets in our supermagnete assortment. Choose the right hook for your project from a wide selection of different shapes and features.
