Founded with a commitment to innovation, Gator Magnetics is redefining storage solutions through advanced magnetic technology. The company has created heavy-duty magnetic hooks and holders that offer a secure, damage-free and adaptable alternative to traditional mounting methods, emphasizing efficiency and durability. These magnets empower users to streamline their workspace organization without drilling holes or depending on unreliable adhesive strips.

Gator Magnetics products are designed to maximize storage capabilities in garages, workshops and commercial spaces. The powerful magnets ensure that tools, equipment and accessories remain firmly in place, preventing unnecessary clutter and increasing overall efficiency.

Their product lineup includes:

Heavy-duty magnetic hooks: Ideal for hanging tools and gear securely.

Magnetic baskets: Provide convenient storage for small items.

Versatile wall system: Allows users to customize their organization setup to fit their needs.

Gator Magnetics’ patented technology sets it apart from traditional magnetic storage solutions. Using a proprietary magnetic locking mechanism, its products provide unmatched holding strength, ensuring that even the heaviest tools and accessories stay securely in place. This advanced engineering not only enhances durability but also offers a level of reliability that surpasses standard magnetic hooks and holders.

We provided samples to a local handyman service operating out of a traditional panel van to evaluate whether the magnetic pull could securely hold items inside the rear door. They successfully hung 50-foot electric cords on the hooks and placed common tools in the baskets without encountering a single failure for over a month and counting.

Hardware retailers should consider adding Gator Magnetics to their product lineup. It caters to customers looking for a unique storage solution as well as those seeking a comprehensive garage organization system.

Founded to improve how people secure their gear, It’s a Real Cinch^® has developed an innovative tool that enhances the functionality of bungee cords and ratchet straps. By offering a secure, efficient and adaptable way to fasten camo cloth, tarpaulins and sheet plastic, the company aims to simplify the process of securing materials while providing a more durable and reliable hold. Whether you’re securing a tarp to protect equipment or managing a tough outdoor job, this tool offers an effective, hassle-free solution.

This patented system improves on traditional tie-down methods, making it easier to create secure connections even on tarps and materials without grommet holes. It helps eliminate wind-flapping, prevents grommet tear-out and extends the lifespan of tarps and covers. Designed to save time and reduce material wear, it easily attaches to tarps and sheets for a secure hold. Available in 24- and 66-inch cable lengths, it’s made in the United States and backed by a three-year warranty for lasting durability.

Using It’s a Real Cinch^® is straightforward: Connect it to your preferred securing strap and attach it directly to your covering material. The strong grip ensures that wind and movement won’t loosen your tie-down, making it ideal for outdoor use in demanding conditions.

We provided a sample to a local residential grounds crew contractor who frequently uses tarps to cover loads or collect large amounts of leaves and debris. The tester praised the product’s versatility, simplicity and ability to extend the lifespan of tarps by eliminating reliance on grommets as the only tie-down points. Independent hardware retailers ought to think about incorporating It’s a Real Cinch^® as an accessory into their existing tarp planogram, creating an exceptional combination that can enhance sales revenue.
