Magnetic strut

[wireday]

I have seen strut 90s with small magnets pressed in to hold the fitting in place while it’s being bolted up, I don’t know the manufacturer, has anyone else used these?

Don't know about any made with strut, but these are quite common- https://www.amazon.com/Welding-Magnet-Support-Holder-4-Pack/dp/B00DL3Z5YY, would they help?
Or maybe these? https://www.amazon.com/Strong-Tools-MVDF44-Adjustable-Magnetic/dp/B00JXDSVA6

I think theyre T&B I got some from home depot when I ran out of strut washers on a weekend. I hate the strut hardware with magnets. They stick to eachother. They end up covered in fasteners and metal shavings. And they fall off when you would want them to work.

Wrap them in tape in advance of taking them to your job site. That way, you can remove the tape to remove the metal tailings.

Or just don't use them then I don't have to mess with tape. I guess keeping them in a ziplock bag or something would work too.
