Full details
This Magnetic Stainless Steel Tray is designed for DIY enthusiasts, mechanics, and hobbyists who need to keep small metal parts organized and accessible during projects. Its key benefit is preventing lost screws, nuts, and bolts with a strong magnetic hold. A minor caveat is that it's most effective with ferrous metal objects. This sturdy tray is essential for any workshop, garage, or workbench, crafted from durable stainless steel with a powerful magnet to secure components. It measures 150mm in diameter and 25mm in depth, and includes a rubber guard to protect surfaces.

FAQs
What materials will the magnetic tray hold?
The tray will hold any ferrous metal objects, such as steel, iron, nickel, and cobalt. It will not hold non-magnetic materials like aluminum, brass, plastic, or wood.
How strong is the magnet?
The magnet is powerful enough to securely hold small metal parts like screws, nuts, and bolts during typical workshop tasks, preventing them from falling or scattering.
Can I use this tray on my car's bodywork?
While the magnet is strong, it's best to use this tray on flat, stable surfaces away from automotive paintwork to avoid potential scratching, especially if debris is present. The rubber guard offers some protection, but caution is advised.
What are the dimensions of the tray?
The tray measures 150mm in diameter and has a depth of 25mm.
Is the stainless steel rust-resistant?
Yes, stainless steel is inherently resistant to rust and corrosion, making it suitable for use in garages and workshops.
How should I clean the tray?
Wipe it with a damp cloth. For tougher grime, use mild soap and water, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Will the rubber guard prevent all scratches?
The rubber guard significantly reduces the risk of scratches and prevents sliding. However, extreme pressure or the presence of sharp debris trapped under the tray could still potentially cause marks on very delicate surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Tray not holding items securely.
Ensure the items are made of ferrous metal. Clean both the tray and the items to remove any dirt or debris that might interfere with the magnet's grip.
Tray slides on the work surface.
Verify that the rubber guard on the bottom is clean and free of debris. Ensure the work surface itself is flat and stable.
Surface underneath the tray is scratched.
Confirm the rubber guard is present and intact. Ensure no sharp debris has become lodged between the tray and the surface. Clean the underside of the tray and the work surface before placing.
Tray attracts unintended metal dust/shavings.
Wipe the tray clean regularly. Keep the tray away from areas with loose metal shavings when not in active use. Gently lift the tray to move it, rather than sliding, to minimize dust attraction.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Effectively prevents loss of small metal parts.
- Durable construction suitable for workshop environments.
- Protects work surfaces from scratches.
- Keeps frequently used items within easy reach.
- Simple to maintain and clean.
Cons
- Only effective for ferrous (magnetic) metal objects.
- May not hold extremely heavy items without support.
- The magnetic strength can attract unintended small metal debris.
- Limited capacity for very large quantities of small parts.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This tray requires no setup. Simply place it on a stable, flat surface near your workspace. Its magnetic base will adhere to any ferrous metal surface, or rest securely on non-metallic surfaces thanks to the rubber guard.
Compatibility: The tray is designed to hold ferrous metal objects (those attracted to magnets). It is not suitable for non-magnetic materials like plastic, wood, or aluminum. The powerful magnet is best utilized on flat, non-critical surfaces to avoid accidental attraction to unintended metal objects.
Care: To clean, wipe the tray with a damp cloth. For stubborn residue, a mild soap and water solution can be used, followed by a thorough drying with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can scratch the stainless steel surface. Ensure the rubber guard remains clean and intact for optimal surface protection.
