What is the actual pull force of the Diver Magnet - 250 underwater?

The Diver Magnet - 250 is rated at 250 kg on a clean, flat, mild steel surface. Underwater, real-world pull force depends on surface condition (rust, paint, marine growth), surface thickness, and contact angle. Expect 50–80% of rated pull on typical subsea steel structures. Always use a 2–3× safety factor for dynamic loads.

How long will the Diver Magnet - 250 last in saltwater?

With proper care — rinsing with fresh water after each use and drying before storage — the Epoxy-HDPE coating protects the neodymium core for 4+ years of regular commercial diving use. The 316 stainless steel hardware is highly resistant to saltwater corrosion. Avoid dropping the magnet on hard surfaces, as impact damage to the coating is the primary cause of premature corrosion.

Do I need special handling for the Diver Magnet - 250?

Yes — at 250 kg pull force, the Diver Magnet - 250 requires careful handling. Always wear protective gloves, approach steel surfaces at a 45° angle (never head-on), and use the handle for controlled placement and removal. A safety lanyard is essential. Brief your dive team on the magnet's location to prevent unexpected pull hazards near steel structures.

What surfaces does the Diver Magnet - 250 work on?

The Diver Magnet - 250 works on any ferromagnetic surface — mild steel, carbon steel, cast iron, and structural steel provide the best results. Performance is reduced on rusty, painted, or curved surfaces. It will not work on aluminium, brass, copper, most stainless steels (304/316), concrete, wood, or plastic.

Can I use the Diver Magnet - 250 for lifting?

No. The Diver Magnet - 250 is designed for horizontal tool holding and equipment staging — not for vertical lifting or rigging. It is not certified lifting gear. For safety-critical applications, always use rated lifting equipment. The magnet is a positioning and holding tool, not a load-bearing device.
