MAGSWITCH Tools were
proclaimed the Hot New Tools of 2007, according to Wood Magazine. The correct use of these magnetic tools in your work shop will create a safer work environment because of the technique they use to hold down your workpieces; they use a high-strength magnet with an on/off switch. Magswitch magnets reduce the chance of dangerous kickback and will mount to any steel surface of your table saw, planer and Jointer in place of using Clamps.
What makes MAGSWITCH Tools so good? It's like a strong, magnetic clamp!
1. You control the tool ~ You have the ability to turn the magnets off and on. Other magnetic tool devices will contact the surface with a powerful crash, causing damage to the surface and even the magnet. Any body part or material caught between the magnet and the power tool table top will be damaged.
2. The MAGSWITCH magnets are easily moved or repositioned: all other tool magnets are always in the ON position, they are difficult to reposition when in contact, and are difficult to remove.
3. Magswitch Magnets are exceptionally strong in Breakaway Strength (Straight Pull), are very strong in Shear Strength (sideways movement), and are weaker in Pry Force.
