Frequently asked questions
Common questions about EZ RED from 3G Electric.
What materials are EZ RED magnetic tool holders made of?
EZ RED magnetic tool holders, such as the EZBIT-R and EZPB4-R models, are constructed from polymer. This material is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and non-marring to tools. The magnetic elements are embedded within the polymer body, providing a secure hold for ferrous tools without adding significant weight to the storage system.
How do EZ RED socket rails secure sockets?
EZ RED socket rails, like the FSR18-R model, use neodymium magnets to hold sockets in place. Neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic force relative to their size, ensuring sockets remain securely attached during transport or use. The rail's polymer body provides a non-slip surface, and the magnetic retention allows for quick removal and replacement of sockets.
Can EZ RED magnetic holders be mounted on non-ferrous surfaces?
EZ RED magnetic holders are designed for mounting on ferrous (iron or steel) surfaces. The magnetic backing requires a magnetic surface to adhere. For non-ferrous surfaces such as aluminum, plastic, or wood, alternative mounting methods like adhesive strips or brackets would be needed, though these are not included with standard EZ RED products.
What tool types are compatible with EZ RED magnetic bit holders?
EZ RED magnetic bit holders, such as the EZBIT-R, are designed to hold magnetic bits. These typically include screwdriver bits (e.g., Phillips, flathead, Torx, hex) that have a magnetic tip or are made of ferrous material. The holder's magnetic field retains the bits securely, allowing for organized storage and easy access.
Are EZ RED products suitable for use in oily or dirty environments?
EZ RED products, made from polymer, are resistant to oils, greases, and common industrial contaminants. The non-porous surface can be wiped clean easily. However, the magnetic elements may attract metal filings or debris, which could reduce holding strength over time. Regular cleaning is recommended to maintain performance in such environments.
What is the typical holding capacity of EZ RED magnetic tool holders?
The holding capacity of EZ RED magnetic tool holders varies by model. For example, the EZPB4-R is designed to hold pry bars, while the EZBIT-R holds magnetic bits. The neodymium magnets in socket rails like the FSR18-R can hold multiple sockets, but exact weight limits are not specified by the manufacturer. Users should test with their tools to ensure adequate retention.
