The magnetic end of these standoffs makes it easy to temporarily mount or reposition components on magnetic surfaces. They’re also good for tight spaces where it’s difficult to drill a hole. All standoffs are made of metal, which concentrates and focuses the strength of the magnet inside, so they maintain their strength even on thin magnetic materials. This metal also protects the magnet from damage.

Brass standoffs have the strongest pull, but they shouldn’t be mounted directly to steel because steel will create a magnetic short circuit that reduces their magnetic pull by up to 15%. Rubber-coated stainless steel standoffs protect sensitive surfaces from damage. The rubber-coating also makes it difficult to slide these standoffs out of place.

Standoffs with a neodymium magnet are stronger and more safely support heavy connections than standoffs with an alnico magnet.

Standoffs with flats are easy to grip with a wrench.
