New Tool Day! Testing out the VEVOR Magnetic Lifter. Is It A Good Product?

[@Airtight215]

Can we get 9,300 machinists to get this guy plaque? I mean he puts out more machining content and work flow than most creators in this genre.

[@TopperMachineLLC]

Thanks! I am running this channel the same as I run my job shop. Put out work, of better quality than my competitors. No BS, No Propaganda, just honest hard work.

@@TopperMachineLLCyep, and you'll explode at some point.

[@josephbrannum5746]

My last job I setup/ran the big brother (13") of your Radial Arm Drill and used a lifting magnet on steel plate up to about 1" thick, was working on some 60" X 120" x 3/4" when it let go missed my leg and foot by about 6-8". I had to walk away and take a break, rethink the whole job and made up some lifting hooks on grade 80 chain so we had four point to lift by. I know why the magnet let go after looking back on it, I hit the up button on the hoist to fast/hard and gave the plate a little bounce. That was all it took to get the magnet to do about the same as you first lift. I did enjoy that big old Radial Arm Drill (RAD) I was able to do jobs that they had been turning away because they didn't have someone to run it full time before I started on it. Please be careful when using the magnet , they are a great tool. But don't have any thing under it that you don't mind losing. Marry Christmas to you and a Happy New Year

[@weirddeere]

We have similar magnets at my job (not the Vevor brand but wouldn't be surprised if it's the same). They can pick up impressive amounts, of solid bar, round bar, etc with really no concerns. Just make sure you be aware when you're picking up something that's flexible or really long so that it might flex or bounce off the magnet. The thinner something is the less it can pick up. We just make sure to never get underneath the load in all cases. The magnets actually get hard to engage on thinner things so it's actually a good clue that you're picking up something you need to be careful with.

[@TalRohan]

The load cell will actually help the magnet on the initial pickup because it takes the shock out of the initial loading so it might be better for safety reasons to use one all the time. Looks like a useful bit of kit but I would be interested to see how it performs with "shock loading"

[@TopperMachineLLC]

The load cell has already been very helpful. Parts and materials have been getting weighed. It's amazing how heavy this tuff is.

[@Freetheworldnow]

I like your comment. Perhaps just use a sling between the magnet and the chain hook.

[@TalRohan]

@@Freetheworldnow thanks yes thats a good idea, tape has just a bit of stretch in it.

[@TalRohan]

@@TopperMachineLLC Amazing how dense steel and iron is, some of the lumps of machinery we work around are crazy heavy , you certainly wouldnt want to be in the way if any of it dropped.

[@bostedtap8399]

Great point.

[@BrucePierson]

The lifting magnet worked out to be way better than expectations. Not something I could ever use personally, but really handy for your shop, especially with having the load cell so you know exactly what weight you're lifting. As an added bonus you get a good workout when applying it to the load that you want to lift.

[@joewhitney4097]

Great new tool Josh. I think your initial picks that popped off was do to the fact the unit was over a groove in the surface of the Lucas table on the one end. I'll bet if you do the same lift with the magnet over solid metal it will work much better. Thanks for sharing.

[@TopperMachineLLC]

It popped off because I was past its max capacity. Proven with the load cell. I was firmly between all table groobes.

[@alexyu6928]

My use for the Vevor magnetic lifter 100kg model was totally different. I am into HAM, GMRS, and CB radio and have base stations and mobile. I used to use magnetic antenna mount on my car but found that none were very strong to hold a 1/4 wave antenna. When I did find a very strong magnetic antenna mount I found that I could put it on the proof of my Excursion but removing it was nearly an impossible task due to the height of my car and the force of the magnet. So the Vevor came in handy. I made an antenna mounting bracket and attached that to the side opposite to the handle side of the Vevor. Now not only this Vevor can hold my 102" antenna taking it on and off my car is very easy.

[@TOXIXIFY]

I too thought Vevor would be junk. I ordered their machine skates and a toe jack. I'm beyond impressed and have moved a couple CNC machines and an industrial saw with them already. Cant beat the price.

[@GardenTractorBoy]

We have had good results with Vevor products. The magnet lifter is cool and it is great to see it in action

[@robertbeltowski2819]

Hello Topper, Nice video. Thank you. FYI... I have purchased many items for Vevor over the last few years, Magnetic lifter, steel side plate lifter, pallet grabber, several Hydraulic/ electric pumps, wire strippers, spring balancer, Digital Platform Scale etc. They all have been great, super fast shipping and if you have a problem they respond and solve the problem quickly. You will not go wrong with them and I have no affiliation with them. Thanks again for the great videos you produce.

[@jamesriordan3494]

[@TopperMachineLLC]

I'm actually surprised by their offerings. Basically a harbor freight tools at a lower price.

[@wakeupslaveamerica]

Joke of a company. Their solution for a warranty issue is I send my money my time to fix it.

[@ForfeMac]

I used similar magnets to pick up 8 in by 20 ft C channel at one of my last jobs. As long as you respect basic lifting safety rules and make sure what you're picking up is thick enough, they're great for lifting odd parts and raw materials. Just be sure the handle is actually locked into place before you lift, one of the other guys had his steel toes put to the test when he neglected to make sure it was actually engaged.

[@TopperMachineLLC]

Most people don't know basic crane safety principles. I had the moron local l fire chief walk right under a 10 ton load on my hook.

[@michaelgreer7901]

Got one. 400kg model. Love it for putting cutting edges on loader buckets.

Josh, I've never seen an unboxing that way! That was the funniest thing I have seen all day!!

[@MWL4466]

Yea these things are a must have in machine/fabrication shops. Build yourself a nice little cart with heavy duty casters on it. Its always on the other side of the shop and out of reach of the crane. A cart helps keep your blood pressure down.

[@TheUncleRuckus]

Good thing you had the forethought to get a load cell to test the magnet bc I don't think you would've trusted using it after the way it seemed to pop off the mill table so easily. Congrats on the new tool and thank you for uploading. Merry Christmas to you and yours Josh. 👍👍

[@gofastwclass]

You gave in. Haha! I commend you for doing a truly honest review of their products. At least you ordered something useful to you. I'm still not a fan of this company or HF, but they (at least HF) do have some decent products that fit the situation if you don't need the highest quality, you're on a budget, etc. I just purchased something from HF yesterday that works perfectly for the need. I'm honestly pleasantly surprised with the magnet. I thought it would make 1,000 lbs and be done and I would have bet good money on no more than 1,500 lbs on steel. Looking forward to your next video.

[@stevechambers9166]

[@willys351]

They are good tools in the shop. I use 2 magnets attached to a spreader bar for lifting plate and sheet steel onto our CNC plasma.

[@donteeple6124]

Hi Josh, As much as I try to go with ALL made in USA on most of my tools, some of the Vevor Items are just hard to beat when it comes to price and quality combined. For example I have their MR 13 B drill sharpener that has performed flawlessly and in fact outshines other BRAND NAME units 3 and 4x more in price....Looks like this is another A plus for them with this item you acquired. Crazy weather here with lots of snow then lost it all with torrential rains then a bit of snow to cover the mud. At least its still going to be a white Christmas here.....These warmer temps hopefully will keep the heating bills down in the shop. So far so good. Wishing you and the family there, a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and prosperous New Year from here in the Adirondacks. Don ps: make you a bet we both refer to our areas as " UPPA US"...........

[@TopperMachineLLC]

The big snowblower I bought and set up in last weeks video is paying off big time. There isn't any snow in my yard. LOL I consider that money well spent. Funny thing is that the grass is greening back up. I'm dreaming of a brown Christmas.

[@andykillsu]

Just be careful using the magnet lifter on plate and other things, because you can magnetize the area of the piece that it was on.

[@TopperMachineLLC]

Good point. It will only be used in situations that it is the only option. I still don't trust it, but it's better than nothing.

[@bostedtap8399]

[@mikep1085]

Good morning Josh.... can't wait to see the upcoming work on the steam engine! That should be fun to watch!

[@richardhallatt5285]

I bought the same magnet from Vevor for our shop, very similar job too. We are very impressed with it and would buy another. Never tried our on cast but certainly on carbon steel plate and sections it works great. Picks round bar up surprisingly well too great for loading the lathe. We use our far more than we thought we would.

[@larsmark]

I have a 400 kg magnet from Vevor and I am really happy with it. Its very light weight also and I will probably buy another one as well.

[@alanm3438]

Good to see you first thing in the morning. I used to use a magnet like that for moving full sheets of thin steel to load on the laser table. One time it picked up two sheets. The oil on the steel caused adhesion. The bottom sheet let loose and nearly cut my legs off at the ankle. That was my fault for not checking before I lifted. I am glad that you liked the magnet because you are not nice when you are not happy with a product. You better carry a knife to cut through the fog today. Thanks for the video.

[@TopperMachineLLC]

Shops are dangerous places, glad you escaped that without major injury. Fog is crazy thick here.

[@stevebo8055]

I am happy to see you get free products for testing. I know you will give honest opinions.

[@TopperMachineLLC]

Thanks. I will always give honest feedback on these products.

[@CarlHargreavesRustyRelicsUK]

I bought 2 of these 1500kg magnets from vevor. Mine where delivered in separate cardboard boxes which had been wrecked in shipping. One of the handles was missing. When i got in touch with vevor they refunded me the price of 1 of the magnets and told me to keep it. I soon made a handle copying the one from the other magnet. So the outcome for me was a 2 for 1 deal.

[@TopperMachineLLC]

You did very well on that deal

[@ellieprice363]

You actually promoted Vevor products in a backhanded way by posting your positive review of their integrity. I’m impressed with the way Vevor handled that problem.

[@eyuptony]

Thats a great tool. It's going to save you lots of time manoeuvrering jobs around. So quick to use as well. Good demonstration.Cheers Tony

[@sbroz1424]

Josh, Good morning. I love your videos. If I could make a suggestion. Have you considered fabricating something to suspend the lifting magnet from the end of the forks of your forklift? I would imagine navigating the gantry around the shop can be frustrating at times. Just a thought, Steve

[@TopperMachineLLC]

I used to use the forklift, until I bought the gantry. I haven't used the forklift since. You have far more control with the gantry than with the forklift.

[@RJMachine62]

I have one also and I do lots of sheet metal and plate. Be very careful on plate. The thinner the plate is the less capacity for the magnet and any plate that can flex much can peel itself right off the magnet. In other words, be very careful. On solid chunks of steel or iron, it usually gets a real good bite.

[@TopperMachineLLC]

I never trust any lifting device. Even if it says its rated as such with a such and such safety factor, I treat it as it can break at any time. I had read about the capacity being less on thin material, but I rarely lift plate under 1/2"

[@TOXIXIFY]

Definitely want to be careful the load is centered too. If it tips, the magnet can slide off much easier than it can be pulled upward.

[@gregdawson1909]

You could see the gantry flex in the first attempt on the video, so I was pretty surprised when you were disappointed, but the way a chain hoist loads with minimal "boing" factor you ran right through the fail point in a flash. A better way to test it might be to throw a strap in the mix, something with some give, either way glad both products worked out. Side note, the lifting magnet isnt just usefull on the gantry hoist, you can dangle it from your fork truck and snag stuff you cant get under to place it on dunnage or a pallet.

[@TopperMachineLLC]

It flexed, but a lot less than I would have ever expected. I've seen 2 ton flex under 1 ton load far more than mine did.

[@BrucePierson]

Merry Christmas to you and yours, as we remember the reason for the season.

[@kellysrestorations.7397]

That magnet is an amazing tool to have! I'm thinking the load cell is a great deal at that price.

[@user-yx8ou4mb5z]

I also have had excellent luck with Vevor products...two power feed units and an ultrasonic cleaner...all basically perfect and priced right.

[@TopperMachineLLC]

I also have the power feed. Not impressed at all with it. It likes to creep up in speed if you're not paying attention. It's my second one, first one lasted less than a few days. I got a warranty replacement, but it was no better. Eventually I'll just order another Servo.

[@darrendean21]

Great video again .... just be careful, those magnets lift well ... and they slide off just as well, keep the work/sheet horizontal or you very suddenly won't be so impressed .. and possibly hurt, take care and keep those videos coming.

[@frankish5314]

I've got some pretty good stuff from Vevor. I guess my only suggestion would be to calibrate the load cell with some known weights (easier said than done)

[@number2664]

The latching force gets more as the material being picked gets thinner. The magnet will tend to pull itself on when it has enough material to attract to.

[@procyonia3654]

I made a big mag base out of the 800lb lift magnet they make for measuring stuff in the field and use on the big VBM ive got.

[@thunderstruck1078]

Vevor probably calibrated their load cell scale using one of these magnet clamps :) Imagining a Chinese guy in the factory: "Uuu, it doesn't hold, that means it must weigh a tone". Sets the scale to "1 tone".)

[@TopperMachineLLC]

LOL, Probably the case.

[@FireGodSpeed]

I use one everyday and they are a gift i mean seriously, i lift big(ish) molds 200-600kg with a magnet because sometimes you have no other option, when i have to drill and tap for a m16 on the top of a mold for the eyebolt to lift it how am i supposed to lift it? xD a strap or a chain would be insanely dangerous on such parts. I have used magnets in ways anyone working for the safety department would pass out.. To be fair.. i got too much trust in magnets.. (i never had one release on me yet and i use them daily for the past like 6years ish).

[@fergusonto-2032]

[@StuartsShed]

It was really good to see an apparent fail then double checked and assessed with the measurement tool, and real numbers shown. I believe Howees tested one of these with the same conclusion. Multiple independent tests is good too - especially on lifting equipment.

[@stevenslater2669]

Your digital load cell probably came with a calibration certificate, but I’d still want to verify it myself since it is your hands & feet at risk. I’m sure you would check out the accuracy of an old-fashioned spring balance. Just because the digital load cell reads to tenths of a pound doesn’t prove it’s accurate. Why not take your load cell down to your steel supplier and compare its reading(s) to their magnet’s readings. Both load cells could be wrong but at least you would have a clue if your unit is close to a proven one.

[@TopperMachineLLC]

Since I am not using this as anything more than roughly knowing what I am lifting, I really don't care about the accuracy. If it is within 20LBS, I am all good.

I so wanted you to lift a sheet an inch of the ground and jump on it. I think these clamps (like any magnet) are sensitive to sudden movement shifts and pulls... stuff like that. Be careful. Always expect it won't hold.

[@TopperMachineLLC]

I actually did jump on a sheet and it held! I just didn't film that, now I wish I had.

[@gregeconomeier1476]

Seems that you might be asking for trouble using a lifting magnet on a surface that isn't flat. Without getting into the math, let's just say the magnetic force reduces dramatically with any distance between the magnet and the object.

[@TopperMachineLLC]

I got it just for plates, Lifting the cylinder an inch off the pallet was just a test, nothing more.

[@jackrichards1863]

Looks like the magnet is typically poor? Going up to 4400 lb's. with a 3300 lb's. rating shows how difficult it can be to make correct use of these tools. It's not so much the weight as it is the contact patch. And the smooth application of the lifting force.

To be fair, I read the instructions and tested accordingly for Cast Iron, not steel. 50% rating in cast iron.

[@wags9777]

I think I would have a hard time trusting this magnet on old parts that are hard to replace when I could just put a scrap around it

That is why I only lifted my cylinder a couple inches. Straps are definitely safer. But this will be great for plates.

[@ellieprice363]

Safety tip. The part that you’re lifting must have a reasonably flat surface for the magnet to contact. If the surface is lumpy and uneven in any way you’ll lose a lot of lifting power.

Can you please do your figures in Metric, I have to keep converting from the old dated imperialism.

[@TopperMachineLLC]

I can't, because I have to go through the work to convert it from that backwards metric. lol

Vevor... BBB issued them an F rating complete with a warning. Over 400 complaints this year alone. Ever notice just how many fing products they get people to review? In exchange for your reputation they send you a product. A product that most likley has been screened before it shipped. What's the value of your word? When you can't find a quality tool who do you blame? A political party, a country, a manufacture? Anything but the consumer purchasing solely on price...

I was extremely reluctant to do this video. I thought, how could they screw up this product? The product is ok, but yes, the company sucks. Since publishing this video, I have been called some nasty things and insulted. Not to mention Vevor has instructed me to change my description. I'm not doing this again with them.

@@TopperMachineLLC It is absolutely nuts how many products they get people to review. I think I watched my first review a month or so back. Since then I think every single creator I follow has done a review. It's interesting to hear your interaction with them. I post my messages as a warning to all. It's a wicked slippery slope when companies that don't even manufacture a product can saturate markets with products... Products just good enough for just long enough. Enjoy your Christmas and New Years. You've accomplished a lot this year. May next year be even better!
