Installation Notes
This magnetic holder is typically deployed by welders, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and general maintenance tradespeople. Ensure the mating surface is clean, flat, and free of debris before applying the holder to achieve maximum magnetic grip. Do not use on non-ferrous surfaces such as aluminum, copper, or stainless steel, as magnetic holding will be reduced or ineffective. Inspect the holder periodically for chips, cracks, or loss of magnetic strength.
