When a builder is working diligently on the roof, it is extremely inconvenient to go down to get screws, screws or other metal parts. To significantly reduce the number of unnecessary actions on the work site, you can purchase specialized devices that will significantly simplify the execution of your tasks. Magnetic construction bracelets are in great demand today. This product is fixed on the wrist in just a few seconds. You can attach all the necessary small parts to the magnet, which do not interfere with working with a hammer or screwdriver. Many masters have already appreciated this element.
Description of the functionality of the bracelet
The product stands out for its practicality and versatility. Large manufacturers produce magnetic construction bracelets in the form of a rather long (45 cm) and also wide (90 mm) product. Wear-resistant, dense and durable polyester can be used for sewing. On the inside there is skin-friendly, breathable material.
The product has a universal porous structure that perfectly absorbs sweat and other moisture, thereby achieving maximum breathability. Even if a specialist uses a magnetic construction bracelet for a long time, he may not worry about the product rubbing his skin.
Main characteristics of a budget product
Helper, an affordable construction magnetic bracelet, is a useful thing for installation work. The product perfectly holds various fastening materials, light tools, and drills. The length of the bracelet is 33 centimeters. Adjustable Velcro allows you to fit any wrist. The width of the device is within 9 cm. It is worth noting that the construction magnetic bracelet Hammer 230 013 of medium length is used by professional seamstresses and needlewomen who daily face piercing pins, which often “scatter” around the room during work. The scope of use of the product is unlimited, which is highly appreciated by both professionals and beginners.
Principle of product operation
The magnetic construction bracelet contains a universal Velcro fastener, which is half of the entire length. The user can independently control the size of the unusual accessory. This product is perfect even for a refined female wrist. All side seams are necessarily covered with a wide border.
The carefully thought-out design ensures maximum strength so that the fabric does not fall apart. Silk threads are ideal for creating stitches. Due to this, the construction magnetic bracelet does not break under the weight of the equipment used. The base of the product consists of five powerful magnets. Experts have proven that bracelets have optimal power, as they are able to hold the following parts:
- Couplings.
- Nails.
- Bolts.
- Hammers.
- Screwdrivers.
- Pliers.
- Nuts.
- Self-tapping screws.
This is only a small arsenal of metal parts used that can be freely placed on the bracelet. Due to the fact that manufacturers have provided a large working area (five sections), the master can organize fasteners for various purposes as compactly as possible. The universal design of the product allows it to be used in a very unusual way. Some builders are accustomed to fixing the bracelet on the roofer's belt or hip bag.
DIY making
In every family there is a person who loves to repair and design. A magnetic construction bracelet will be a real assistant in your work. This product can be used to hang self-tapping screws, nails and other metal objects that are simply inconvenient to hold in your hands all the time.
To work, you will need a flexible magnetic plate, which can be purchased at any hardware store. You also need to prepare a piece of fabric, a tape measure, 8-9 small neodymium magnets, a needle and an awl. The first step is to place the magnetic plate on the fabrics and check that they match each other in size as much as possible. If necessary, excess edges can be trimmed with scissors.
At the next stage, carefully lay out the magnets on the workpiece, leaving a small distance between them. Glue is ideal for fixation. After it dries, the magnets are covered with cloth on top. Using an awl, you need to make small holes on all four sides of the magnetic strip. The product must be secured with small stitches. To prevent the structure from falling apart during operation, you can additionally place it on tape. All that remains is to decorate the product at your discretion and the bracelet is ready.
Self-production
Making an antistatic bracelet yourself is not difficult.
This is done as follows:
- You will need a metal wristwatch bracelet. It should be checked with a tester for electrical conductivity (dielectric sputtering on the surface is possible).
- A resistor with a resistance of 1 MOhm must be soldered to the strap.
- Solder a twisted copper wire to the second end of the resistor.
- Solder a crocodile clip to the end of the wire.
Such a device will not differ from factory models and will protect electrical components from static electricity.
Main advantages

- Flat magnets are hidden in the internal compartment, the size of which is within the range of 55 x 9 x 5 mm.
- The bracelet is made of fabric that is resistant to stains.
How to make a magnetic wrist bracelet for nails, screws and construction items
When making renovations in an apartment, or doing other similar work, it is very inconvenient to store fasteners, drill bits or other items in your pockets. To find the little things you need, you have to take everything out or climb down a stepladder to do this. Manufacturers of construction tools have developed special devices for this - magnetic bracelets. They are very helpful at work.
Sometimes there is no opportunity to purchase such a device. In this case, it is made by hand. There are several options. If there are old faulty wristwatches in the house, then they are quite suitable as a frame holder. And not only in a metal, but also in a plastic case. You can take any magnets, for example, from old speakers. The ideal option would be to select a round magnet equal to the inner diameter of the watch case.
First, the mechanism and glass are removed from the case. Then a magnet is placed in it and glued. Additional magnets are placed on the bracelet. It is better to do this from the outside of the arm. The finished magnetic bracelet is put on the hand and used, placing the necessary small objects on it.
A more complex version of a magnetic bracelet is made of leather or thick fabric. Soft leather is taken from the tops of old women's boots or jackets. The fabric is often used from jeans or travel bags made from durable synthetic materials. Magnets are purchased at the store or used from old speakers. Magnetic plates from children's toys are very convenient. They can also be easily found in the store.
First, the circumference of the master's wrist is measured. Then, based on the required dimensions, a blank is cut out of the fabric. Its width can be selected as desired. Magnets are placed on one side of the fabric and the workpiece is folded in half. The edges are sewn using a sewing machine or by hand. If a strip of leather is used, the magnets on top are fixed with cloth. To give the bracelet a more attractive appearance, its edges are trimmed with braid or synthetic tape.
To prevent the magnets from moving, the material between them is stitched. Do not forget that magnets must be placed on the outside of the device. The edges of the bracelet can be optionally equipped with flight Velcro or a trouser belt buckle. The first clasp option is preferable, as it allows you to quickly remove or put on the bracelet. A belt buckle will help keep heavy objects on your wrist.
Real cost
Today, many professionals and home craftsmen actively use the Magmaer magnetic construction bracelet, as well as products from other brands. But before purchasing, be sure to study all the characteristics of the device. For non-professional builders and summer residents, the classic Chinese-made model is perfect. There are several interesting magnetic bracelets on sale, the cost of which is around 170 rubles.
For wholesale purchases, the price is 190 rubles. Specialized analogues can be bought for 400-700 rubles. But the experts themselves recommend not to overpay for bracelets with similar characteristics.
Varieties
The antistatic bracelet has several varieties. Each type has its own design features.
- Metal. It is a stainless steel bracelet without a clasp. A stretch strap is used to adjust the girth. This type of device also has an antistatic agent, a resistor, and an alligator clip cord. A special feature of metal models is their long service life - more than 10 years.
- Fabric. Made from thick fabric. The cuff has an adjustable fastener. These bracelets are equipped with a metal plate and spiral wires.
- Wireless. A wireless bracelet is considered the most modern type of device for removing static electricity. A diffuser is used as a grounding conductor. The wireless model does not have an active connection to ground. Such devices dissipate static electricity through the air. In practice, such a device does not work, since air is a dielectric. To dissipate the charge, it is necessary to lean the device with its metal part against a grounded case. Often, this approach can be unsafe. Wireless models can only be effective in everyday life, for example, when in contact with the body of a car.
- Magnetic. Also refers to fabric or metal varieties, but differs in the connection of the cord to a metal plate. The connector is a magnet.
- Dual-circuit. The only difference from the regular model is that it is equipped with 2 resistors with a resistance of 1 MOhm.
All described types of bracelets, with an active connection via a cord, can be used in everyday life and at work, during the operation and repair of sensitive equipment.
