Game-Changer for Metal Fabrication

When i tried this magnetic tool, I was impressed at how easily it could hold onto steel pieces of various sizes and shapes. The adjustable arm also made it simple to use for different applications. The compact size and portability make it a game-changer for metal fabrication on-the-go. The only downside is that it can only hold onto ferromagnetic metals, but thats to be expected with a magnetic tool. Overall highly recommend for any metalworker..

Pros
  • Highly portable and easy to use, making it convenient for on-site cutting tasks.
Cons
  • There are disadvantages

Not Worth the Hype on my review.

As a result of using this product I found that it was unreliable and inaccurate... The magnet was not strong enough and couldnt hold the tool steady, making my job difficult and frustrating. The only positive is that it was portable and easy to move around. However, that doesn't make up for the fact that it didn't meet my expectations. Save your money and invest in a better magnetic tool..

Pros
  • Portable and easy to transport to job sites.
Cons
  • Requires an electrical power source to function.

Good lightweight drill

This is a good drill. The motor is not as powerful as others, but does the job. The guard works great and is the first magnetic drill guard that my folks haven't removed. Drilling into the end of a piece of steel won't give the magnet enough grip, so you need to know how to position the drill bit for the magnet to work. The motor will not stay on if the magnet is not held sufficiently (a safety feature that can be an issue for more experienced magnet drills).

Pros
  • Magnetic field shape control for maximum holding power
Cons
  • Other Other
