Pull Force Vs Shear Force
Traditional magnetic hooks have always struggled as a tool storage solution due to how they function when used on a vertical steel surface. Traditional magnetic hooks weight capacity is measured by pull force, or the weight they can resist being pulled directly away from a thick steel surface at least ½” or more. However, in real-world use, hooks are expected to hold weight vertically along the surface, which relies on shear force. Traditional hooks fail here without either extremely thick steel or magnets so strong they risk damaging surfaces.
Gator Magnetics has revolutionized this standard with their new technology, by optimizing shear force, enabling secure vertical holding power even on thin steel. This innovation makes magnetic storage truly practical and versatile.
Thick Steel vs Thin Steel
Unlike traditional magnetic hooks that base their holding capacity claims on thick steel surfaces over ½” + thick, Gator Hooks technology delivers unbelievable weight capacity for hanging and storing items on thin steel surfaces that are commonly found in homes, garages and workshops. Think steel surfaces such as toolboxes, cabinets, pole barn walls, steel doors—not industrial-grade 1” thick steel beams.
Gator Hooks provide reliable strength on the surfaces you can access every day. Perfect for organizing heavy tools, equipment, and household items, they are tailored for real-life applications. Choose Gator Hooks for a dependable and practical storage solution!
In Conclusion
Gator Magnetics has redefined magnetic storage with technology designed for real-world use. By optimizing shear force, our hooks securely hold heavy items on thin steel surfaces commonly found in homes and workshops. Unlike traditional hooks that rely on pull force and require thick steel to function, Gator Hooks deliver unmatched strength and versatility, making them the ultimate storage solution for your everyday uses.

The strength of these is incredible. Having the ability to hang incredibly heavy items off the floor is such a treat. Worth every penny of the high price.

I bought some of these from a welding supply company to help organize a service truck. When I saw how well they worked I came to Amazon and bought many more. They hold well even on the thinner metal of my truck body doors. I used them to mount grinders to doors and hang rigging straps in another compartment.

These things can hold almost anything. The engineering here is excellent. They snap on easy and they are STRONG. I have other magnetic hooks that seem to be stronger magnets, but do not hold a candle to these. This is exactly what I needed. They are expensive, but worth every cent if you require magnetic hooks.

These are extremely strong magnets and hold heavy tools on a metal wall. I have a conex container which I do not want to drill into and these magnets hold as advertised! I just ordered several more because they work so well and help organize inside the structure.

Used them to hang up our metal detectors. Much better than the peg board we were using. Hanger stays on the metal cabinet when detector removed, unlike the peg board that would hang up on the detectors and fall off the peg board!

These hooks are so functional and great for organization in the garage. Perfect for hanging extension cords and other misc items that you want to have easy access to. Super simple installation; lift the release and move then flip back down to lock again. Very sturdy and magnet is strong. Worth the buy!

Needed these to keep an electrical cord out of the way. Used them to place the cord above a door in the garage. Works great and easy to move around with the quick release feature.
