Chip Catcher
Magnetic metal shavings catcher
Clamp the Chip Catcher to the top or bottom of a metal surface as you drill, and the rare earth magnets will attract and capture the metal shavings. Enjoy having a work area free of shavings and a clean-up you can finish in seconds. Metal chips can be dangerous to your fingers and electrical components. Chip Catcher collects metal shards, so you don’t have to. You never have to worry about how to clean up metal shavings by hand again.
Drill horizontally, vertically, or even through the top of a metal cabinet and Chip Catcher’s strong magnets will have no problem attracting the metal shavings. A magnetic chip catcher makes working in cramped spaces a breeze. Instead of trying to deflect shavings away or cleaning them up afterwards, just attach the Chip Catcher and start drilling.
Features:
- Comes with a KO Killer Knockout Filler for even better metal catching
- Can be used while drilling holes up to 3/8” in size
- The inside diameter of the larger hole is 2”
- LESS MESS – Chip Catcher not only makes collecting and disposing of metal shavings simple. No more trying to vacuum the metal chips and hoping to get them all. Chip Catcher has a separate plastic sheath between the magnet and the metal chips. Removing the metal shavings can be done in seconds. Simply slide the inner piece away from the outer shell and the shavings fall.
- SAFETY – Trying to clean up metal shavings by hand can be risky as the sharp chips can cut your fingers. Injuries can affect your ability to work and any steps to avoid them should be taken. With this magnetic Chip Catcher, you can collect and dispose of your metal debris without ever touching it, making your job safer.
- PROTECTION – Magnetic chip catchers are a fantastic way of protecting your valuable components from harmful metal shavings. Hot metal chips can cause permanent damage to delicate electrical components like controls, breakers, switchgear, terminal blocks, contactors, and relays which leads to serious problems and a lot more work.
