For more information or a little refresher on how to get started fishing with Apex magnets, see our previous blog on the topic! Continue reading →

Say goodbye to nails and sticky adhesives that leave marks on your walls and say hello to hook magnets and countersunk magnets! Not only will these strong magnets stay put on the wall, but they’re also easily adjustable and removable if you move or change your mind.  Both countersunk and hook magnets are great choices as they have strong pull force capabilities.

If you need help finding the right size, give us a call!  Continue reading →
