Just a quick look at the differences and similarities of the US General Magnetic Bars from Harbor Freight.

I have seen KZbinrs make wooden strips and place magnets in it and use it to hold up some minor items but it never occurred to me that there are magnetic strips like the ones you have shown. I love them. TIme for me to research and find one that would work best for me! Thanks for the idea! I look forward to viewing more of your videos.

Harbor freight has a pack of magnets that are pretty strong. Instead of wasting another bar by doubling them up, I put three magnets on the flat side of the bar and stick it to the metal of the tool box. Works perfectly.

Great suggestion! Def better than doubling the bars which wasn't a fan of.

Ive recently gotten a couple of older top and bottom sets of tool boxes (craftsman) - i have a couple of these sitting around and put together a pretty nice woodworking shop. Against the side of the toolboxes these things seem to snap hard to them- think they would work well as custom magnetic accessory holders and screw the flat side to say a wooden towel roll/drill bit/screwdriver holder since it would be tight to an all metal surface or would that be too much shear force? They're basically perfect size for them front to back which makes me think they might be a concept for US general toolbox accessory holders

I have seen many people make as you have said. Mounting them down would help with the shear force. You may also weaken the pull if you had a thin layer of wood or foam between the items you wish it to hold. Yes I would agree because their sizing matches perfectly there was a concept they wish to have marketed. They could have, most of the older HF ads are lost, this was a place you could once get large table saws, jointers, etc.

Can they still connect to the tool box without drilling a hold to hold it

You will have to use two of them back to back. An example: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIvPnnSXrauVi6c
