Designed Specifically for Steel Surfaces The 2.5" MIDI Open Magnetic Hook is engineered for flat, ferrous steel surfaces commonly found in garages, workshops, sheds, pole barns, tool chests, and shipping containers. (Magnets only work on steel.) For best performance: Use on flat steel surfaces Clean surface before installation Avoid textured or heavily painted steel surfaces where possible Why Choose Gator? When we say “Holds up to 25 lbs,” we mean it. Gator Magnetics measures shear force—the downward pull of real hanging weight—not pull force like most magnetic hook brands. Other brands test using thick, 1.5-inch steel plates. We test on 16 gauge galvanized steel—the same type commonly found in garages, sheds, pole barns, and steel storage systems. The result: reliable performance in real-world conditions.
