Review on 🧲 HHIP 3900 2147 Soft Magnetic Aluminum by James Ramirez

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good but the magnets are weak

Love these jaws, they are well made, fit together well and will protect your work when you need it. The only thing stopping them from being a 5 star product is the weak magnets. They just aren't strong enough and therefore slip off when you need them to stay in place. So I took a chisel to the magnets (I wrapped them in tape first because they are very fragile and break into pieces - put on goggles) and then scraped off the residue and glue with a pick. These things are better than you think. The original magnets appear to have been glued into metal cups (as plugs) which were then pressed into the aluminium. After cleaning the cups I sealed them with epoxy and replaced the 16x4mm magnets. NOW they are worth 5 stars!

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
