Product Details
Scattered ferrous debris — nails, wires, washers, bolts, nuts — collects exactly where hands and brooms struggle: shop floors, edgy cornered areas, foundries, scrap yards. The PML Hand Magnet is the ergonomic answer: a high-intensity NdFeB (rare earth) magnet encased in a flat steel body with a handle, forming a magnetic circuit that traps ferrous particles in one sweep of the arm.
A ferrite-magnet version is also available where economy matters more than maximum pull.
One Tool, Many Industries
The Hand Magnet earns its keep across machining, casting, food & pharma, and chemical processing — collecting iron pieces scattered on the floor or mixed into process media before another operation. It is equally handy for selecting and collecting iron powder from powders and granules, right down to household and educational use.

Frequently Asked Questions
NdFeB or ferrite — which version?
NdFeB gives maximum pulling intensity for demanding cleanup; ferrite covers lighter duty at lower cost. The specification table lists holding capacity and gauss values for each model.
Can it be used around food or pharma production?
Yes — collecting stray ferrous contamination in food, pharma and chemical processing is one of its core applications.
How do I clean the collected debris off?
Sweep the magnet over the area, then wipe the collected particles off the face into a bin — the flat body makes this quick and safe.
