Shop tip of the week. Throw a few magnets in the glove box and now they can stick to anything metal.

Or 3d print a holder with magnets and you can slide in any glove box whenever it runs out

[-]

I mean I see where your head is. I have like 12 3d printers. I used to have a 3d print studio. I can work Fusion. I also have a disaster of a shop that needed some organization and would rather spend 32 seconds throwing some magnets in the box than design a case that will work with every glove box and the time printing and tweaking it. Sometimes the easy solution is the right one.

I hear you man! I just would hate to source magnets every month. I blow through gloves too often.

[-]

EEpromChip@reddit (OP)

...you can take them out of the box and move them to the new box.

You know that, right?

I was like, what do magnets in a cars glovebox have to do with this photo...

I just woke up.

[-]

Igneous_Rocks227@reddit

It worked!

[-]

EEpromChip@reddit (OP)

You might have used too many magnets.

[-]

EEpromChip@reddit (OP)

I sat around thinking "man I gotta fire up the plasma table and cutout a box shape and then bend it into shape"... then realized fuck that. Just throw some magnets in there and let it stick to whatever...

Allumina@reddit

Harbor freight sells one for dirt cheap… in a myriad of powder coated finishes.

EEpromChip@reddit (OP)

Well yea but the gloves already come in a box. And they are usually the perfect size and already have gloves inside and are sure to fit. And are $0.00 plus tax.

[-]

windraver@reddit

You can also 3d print a glove box holder. If you have a 3d printer.

[-]

EEpromChip@reddit (OP)

...I have 12. I used to run a 3d Printing company.

Magnet in the box is a ton easier.

[-]

nhbruh@reddit

now thats a minimum viable product, great work

Comfortable-Mode-972@reddit

Pro tip with these gloves. Flip them inside out and they go on sweaty hands easy

[-]

Macia_@reddit

Don't forget to schedule time for berating your idiots for throwing the magnets away with the empty box

[-]

EEpromChip@reddit (OP)

I'm the only idiot in my single man shop in my backyard... So it's pretty easy to determine which idiot did it.

tacobellmysterymeat@reddit

Yeah. How else am I going to get a pretty color!

[-]

stealthybutthole@reddit

seriously, it's not worth sticking magnets in every single box of gloves i buy for the rest of my life to save $9

Any ferrous metal.

[-]

Melodic__Protection@reddit

Nickel would like a word.

[-]

JayTeeDeeUnderscore@reddit

I should have said ferromagnetic.

Iron, nickel, cobalt & gadolinium are ferromagnetic elements at room temperature. So are many of their alloys.

Yes, sorry. Aluminum lifts are out.

[-]

JackpineSavage74@reddit

What about non-ferrous magnets...?

[-]

EEpromChip@reddit (OP)

I have an order pending on Amazon but they are on backorder.

Believe it or not non-ferrous electromagnets are an actual thing. Kinda

[-]

HeirElfEsquire@reddit

Try gloveworks 8ml...love them

[-]

FalseRelease4@reddit

yeah you'll need different magnets for stainless and aluminium

[-]

someliskguy@reddit

Stared at this for a solid 5mins trying to figure out where the glovebox is and why you’d want to stick it to anything other than under the dash.

I’m an idiot. Great idea.

[-]

RandomToker2018@reddit

I too misread “glovebox” 🤣

[-]

CheezWeazle@reddit

Being an idiot beats being lonely, welcome to the club

[-]

IRingTwyce@reddit

Took me a second. I was confused how the glovebox could magnetize anything.

[-]

lokigottaeat@reddit

Great tip! Im sticking my gloves to the side of my tool box today!

[-]

itsjakerobb@reddit

It took so long for me to figure out what you meant because of the word “glovebox.”

[-]

EEpromChip@reddit (OP)

I didn't say glovebox. I said glove box.

[-]

itsjakerobb@reddit

Okay. It still confused me.

[-]

whaletacochamp@reddit

better than that dumb harbor freight glove box holder that is way too big for all of the boxes of gloves that HF sells and therefore never quite works right.

[-]

OkSubstance8759@reddit

Instructions unlear. Now I have magnets bouncing around in my dashboard.

[-]

navlgazer9@reddit

I bought some glove box holders with magnets on them

But this is a lot cheaper

[-]

EEpromChip@reddit (OP)

I literally was going to bend up an 18ga box to hold them and then it dawned on me. They're already in a box. Just throw a magnet in it and call it a day.

Ok had to read it three times and look at the picture. I took it to mean glove box in the car and suddenly magnets would stick to metal. One, didn't they already? And two, what does your glove box do? But then I stopped overthinking it and saw what your talking about. I'm dumb today.
