I’ve put the Klein 69417 through six months of daily abuse on residential and light commercial jobs, and it’s earned a permanent spot in my bag. The rare-earth magnets grip like nothing else I’ve used—I’ve hung my drill on ductwork, suspended parts from furnace cabinets, even kept my tablet accessible on metal studs. The included strap is what separates this from cheaper magnetic hooks; it lets you hang the tool on non-metallic surfaces or double your capacity. At around twenty bucks, it’s not the cheapest option, but I haven’t had one fail yet. My apprentice tried saving money with a knockoff—it lasted two weeks before the magnet separated. If you’re tired of hunting for tools you set down or need an extra hand when you’re working solo, the Klein 69417 actually delivers.
