    Quickly switch between grabbing and dropping items—the magnet on these lifters releases when you squeeze the lever and reengages as soon as you let go. Great for repeat jobs, they’re often used to move large amounts of small magnetic items, such as metal fasteners, from one place to another. They also work well for metal items that are too hot or sharp to handle directly.
    Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.
    Styles A-D—Style A-D lifters pick up and release small objects more quickly and easily than Style E lifters.
    Style E—Style E lifters are best for heavy steel sheets and blocks—they have a larger contact surface area and stronger magnet than Styles A-D.
    Stainless Steel and Steel—Stainless steel and steel lifters resist cracking, breaking, and deforming better than plastic lifters.

    A no-frills solution to safely grab machined parts, scrap metal, and other magnetic items. These lifters are often used to move items that are too hot or sharp to handle directly.
    Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.
    Pry-Off Lifting Eye—Attach lifters with a lifting eye to a hook, rope, or chain to lower them into hard-to-reach places, such as deep bins or waterways. Alternatively, stick them to a magnetic surface and use the lifting eye to route hose, wiring, and other nonmagnetic items.
    Pry-Off Knob—Lifters with a knob are often found holding documents up against machines.
    Style E—Style E lifters have two different holes for the lifting eye, so you can thread it into different sides.
    Slide-On Shields—Lifting magnets with slide-on shields come with covers for the magnet to protect it from damage and wear when not in use.

    For heavy loads, these lifters have a stronger magnet than pull-release lifters and a lock to prevent accidental drops. To switch the magnet on and off, turn a handle or push a button. All lifters have a groove for grabbing round materials, such as pipe, in addition to flat materials.
    Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.
