Received magnetic drain plugs from
www.magneticdrainplugs.com (canada) and
www.magneticdrainplug.com (North Dakota)to do a comparison and this is the results:
Guys,
I promised you the scoop so here it is. I received my package from
www.magneticdrainplugs.com (canada) this morning. (7 day shipping)
I had allready had on hand the plug from magneticdrainplug.com (north dakota) (2 day shipping)
The plug itself from both companies are identical except for the magnet itself. The Canadian plug is 5/16 diameter. Very beefy magnet
The American plug is 1/4 diameter. Not so beefy.
This is where the similarities end!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I tested both magnets for strenghth and there is no comparison whatsoever. I grabbed my pile of wrenches just to see what they would hold up in the air.
The Canadian plug with the "larger" magnet would just barely hold a 9/16 box end wrench in the air. (1/4 pound)
The American plug with the "smaller magnet" kept going like the energizer rabbit. Finally I had a 1 3/4 pound proto 12" cresent wrench being held in the air with power to spare.
I was very impressed with the american magnetic plug from
www.magneticdrainplug.com. I attempted to post some pictures in my album but,,,,,,I describe much better than I download. Sorry. Hope this helps. Bigger is not always better.
