Holding capacity varies by model and by the surface used. In these listings capacities range from about 2–5 pounds on glass up to 45 pounds on steel. Several items are rated roughly 25–45 pounds when attached to thin steel, while a small powder‑coated magnet is rated about 4 pounds.
These magnetic hooks are made from metals such as aluminum alloy, steel, and iron. Some listings use the generic term “metal,” and a number of items include a powder‑coated surface finish.
They attach to magnetic surfaces such as steel doors, steel cabinets, lockers, refrigerators and other thin steel surfaces. Some models also attach to single‑layer glass, but they are not suitable for thick double‑pane glass or non‑magnetic surfaces like wood or aluminum.
Most of these hooks snap or stick onto metal surfaces and do not require drilling. Descriptions mention reusable placement, and some models include an easy‑off lever to simplify positioning and removal.
Some hooks use multiple built‑in magnets or rubber‑covered magnets to protect surfaces and improve grip. Heavy‑duty models may feature a patented easy‑off lever and a patented shear‑strength magnetic design to hold heavier loads and allow easier repositioning.
Package quantities vary from single hooks to 2‑pack sets. Several steel magnetic hooks in the selection list a 1 Year Limited Warranty.
