Magswitch Switchable Magnet Range — Quick Reference
Magswitch invented switchable rare-earth magnet technology — magnets that turn ON + OFF by rotating a lever (no electricity required). Holds with full power when engaged, zero residual when disengaged. Workshop fabrication essential for welding setup, plate lifting, fixturing.
| Magswitch Tool | Hold Force | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| MagSquare (Welding Angle Square) | 40 / 80 / 165 / 400 / 600 lb pull | Welding setup — holding pieces at 45/90/135° for tacking |
| Mini Multi-Angle | Variable angle setup | Adjustable angle setups beyond 90° — pipe + custom |
| MagJig Workholding | 30 lb – 200 lb pull | Router table + woodworking fixtures + jig setup |
| BoaGrip Plate Lifter | 150 lb – 1,000 lb safe working load | Steel plate lifting + positioning — workshop default |
| HoldFast Plate Lifter (Heavy-Duty) | Up to 4,400 lb (2,000 kg) | Heavy steel plate + structural lifting |
| FastLift Series | 200 lb – 1,500 lb | Mid-range plate lifting — fabrication + steel service |
| MagShimmer (Fence Setup) | Variable | Edge work + fence support on workshop tables |
Critical: Always engage magnet AFTER positioning + verify clean steel contact (paint/rust/scale dramatically reduces hold force). Rated to MILD STEEL — stainless, aluminium, brass DON'T hold (non-ferromagnetic). For lifting applications, ALWAYS use back-up sling — magnet ONLY for positioning, NEVER sole means of support. Companion: welding, welding helmets, hand tools, MIG welding guide.
Magswitch Welding Magnets, Magnetic Lifters & Fabrication Positioning Tools
Magswitch is the innovator behind switchable rare earth magnet technology — magnets that can be turned on and off with a simple rotation, providing powerful holding force exactly when you need it and zero residual magnetism when you don't. The Magswitch range includes welding angle squares, MagJig workholding tools, MagSquare positioning magnets, heavy-duty plate lifters, and specialty positioning tools trusted by welders, fabricators, and boilermakers for fast, secure, repositionable setups.
