Review on ๐Ÿ”จ Magswitch Woodworking Tools Starter Kit and Accessories: Featherboard, Mounting Push Block, Magnetic Base Clamp Holder - Perfect for Table Saw Jig, Router Table, Jointer, and Band Saw (Yellow) by Kevin Hauck

Revainrating 4 out of 5

You need a magnetic switch. Just maybe not this one.

Magnetic switches are great. This thing made it easier to cut thin sheet metal and work to the limit, which I otherwise wouldn't have attempted. The possibility of positioning the perforated board directly on the tree and changing its position quickly and easily made precision work considerably easier. So why not five stars? I think value for money is good. I have a smaller double sided pegboard and it's just as good and easier to use. The magnets seem stronger on this one, but I wasn't disappointed with the strength of the smaller ones. I thought I could expand this with some other accessories, but every time I buy a set of Magswitch accessories, I end up feeling like I can buy or build equivalent jigs for a lot less than what these are people demand. after all, just a bunch of stucco plastic. Nonetheless. I'm assuming Magswitch has a patent since nobody sells these things anymore. So I pay them the price because their magnetic devices are just incredibly cool and useful.

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • unreliable
