The icon tool mat is insane!

What happens here

For the ultimate test of the magnetic mat's holding power, attempt to hang an Ironton brand welder on it. Carefully lift the welder and position its metal casing directly against the magnetic mat, which is still attached to the tool cabinet. The successful adhesion of the welder demonstrates the mat's impressive strength and ability to support heavy and irregularly shaped equipment, making it a valuable organizational tool in a workshop.

Goal: Determine the mat's maximum practical holding capacity with a heavy piece of equipment.

  • Icon Magnetic Tool Mat Icon — The mat being tested
  • Ironton Welder Ironton — A heavy piece of equipment used for the final and most challenging test of the mat's magnetic strength
