Magnetic drill or hotgun holder
Description
I decided to make a version of https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4074170 using magnets. I also hot-glued small strips of craft foam to keep it from sliding down, as I installed this on the leg of my workbench. I made another one to use for my hotgun as well...works great! For the magnets, I used 60mm x 10mm x 3mm magnets ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07B6NX5NP ) (2 each). (The magnets' dimensions are actually 59mm x 9.4mm x 2.8mm, but they work fine for this application) I used superglue instead of the included mounting tape because I don't trust the mounting tape to last in the long run. BE CAREFUL when installing the magnets. They really want to jump together, so if you're not careful, it can get messy with the superglue. I found the best way to apply them was to put superglue down for one magnet, install that magnet, then either wait (if you're patient) or temporarily duct tape it down to install the second one, repeat for the third one. I've found that the second and third ones are the ones most likely to cause trouble, as they want to jump and stick to previous one. When installing the each subsequent magnet, slide it in while holding it down to prevent this.
