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 GATOR MAGNETICS Open Storage Hook has been a great (pricey) solution for adding hooks that are strong and useful. Its simple yet robust design makes it incredibly versatile for various uses around the house.The hook feels sturdy and durable, capable of holding a surprising amount of weight without bending or warping. Installation is as easy as blinking your eyes; the really strong magnets allow for easy attachment to any magnetic surface, and the hook remains securely in place.I've used it for hanging lights and bags in my office and bedroom, providing a neat and accessible storage solution in any setting.The open design ensures quick access to items without the hassle of removing them from a closed loop, which is a fantastic convenience. The magnet seems to be protected well enough with a rubber surface so that I don't have to worry about damaging my tables that I have attached these hooks.In terms of value for money, this storage hook is pricey but no competition that I've seen with the same level of durability and convenience. I'm impressed by its performance and versatility, making it a must-have for anyone looking to organize their space efficiently.Pros:Sturdy and durable build qualityEasy magnetic installation on metal surfacesVersatile usage for multiple itemsConvenient open design for quick accessDoesn't damage surfacesCons:None that I've encountered so far! (Maybe price?)Overall, I highly recommend the GATOR MAGNETICS Open Storage Hook for its durability, versatility, and exceptional functionality. It's a small investment that brings significant organization and efficiency to any space.

These are AMAZING and very strong. I own a beekeeping manufacturing company and use these on the inside of my shop doors and on other metal surfaces to hold clothes, jackets, hats, ear protection, tooling templates ... you name it. I very much recommend this product. They are solidly built, well-packaged and super strong.

I purchased three packs of these now I have them lined up on a metal container for hanging yard tools. They work fantastic and can hold much more weight than I would think a magnet could. I’ve even purchased a couple sets as presents.

Works great for gym attachments. Barely slides. Will be ordering more 45 lb ones as the 25 lb ones slide with the bars but perfect for the grips
