Getting a strong magnetic tool bar

Joel_BC · #1 01/23/15, 06:07 PM

Anybody know where I can get a magnetic tool bar like this one? (Looks like it would be very strong… stronger than the ones I now have in my shop, and stronger than those my local hardware stores and bldg supply stores carry.)

I'd be happy to order online.

Thanks.

(I got this image from www.homemadetools.net - but the source for the tool bar was unexplained.)

I use these from Harbor Freight.

I could be wrong, but that looks just like a toolbar I bought at Menard's several years ago. I used it to hold knives and scissors in my kitchen, and it worked great.

I use the harbor freight ones. They are pretty ---- strong. They hold every tool I can put on it. You can also get them for free with a coupon.

Where would I find that coupon?

Just tear apart an old non working microwave.
There are 2 doughnut shape magnets in it. They are approx. 2 -21/2 inch in diameter and about a 1/2 inch thick. Then build your own magnetic tool bar.. If you were closer I would give you some. You could also get the magnets from a bad computer hard drive.. Be careful these can be finger pinchers because of their strength.

Slickdeals has a coupon thread for harbor freight. See the first page, all the free coupons you could want, over 25 different items. Just print the coupon and bring it in. Harbor Freights new policy is that they take printed coupons. You can even just show them your phone with the coupon on it, just read them the numbers. Pretty cool right! Any visit you make, always bring your 20% off one item and free item coupon.
There are also links for inside track club coupons if you search on that thread. I use them often and they never onced asked for membership card or info.
