Works exactly as described. I can throw him to the side of the machines while working and then throw tools at him and he will grab them and hold them. Textured surface and magnets keep tools where you put them, even if they're hanging on the side of something. I've been looking for something like this for a long time and that's exactly what I wanted. I also asked a question about this and the manufacturer responded and answered my question in less than an hour. That tells me they endorse their product.
