Rack-A-Tiers Chip Catcher – Magnetic Metal Drill Chip Collector for Panels & Cabinets (84100)

Overview

The Rack-A-Tiers Chip Catcher is a compact magnetic shavings collector that clings to metal surfaces as you drill. Its rare earth magnets pull metal chips away from sensitive areas, helping you keep your workspace cleaner and your components safer. By catching the shards at the source, you can focus on precision rather than cleanup.

Why it helps on busy job sites

• Less mess means faster job turnover and a cleaner work area without bulky cleanup steps.
• Safer handling of sharp metal shavings reduces the risk of minor cuts and snags.
• Designed for cramped spaces, it attaches to the top or bottom of metal surfaces and stays put during drilling.
• Engineered to protect valuable electrical components from stray chips, helping you maintain system integrity.

Key specs and how it works

• Can be used while drilling holes up to 3/8” in size, keeping chips in reach.
• Inside diameter of the larger opening is 2”, providing ample room for debris collection.
• Less mess setup thanks to a separate plastic sheath between the magnet and the chips, enabling quick cleaning.
• The magnetic design allows easy pickup of shavings from metal surfaces, reducing cleanup effort.
• For safe disposal, simply slide the inner piece away from the magnetic outer shell to release the collected shavings in seconds.

How you use it is straightforward: clamp the Chip Catcher to the edge of a metal panel, start drilling, and let the magnet do the work. It supports drilling horizontally, vertically, or through the top of a metal cabinet, making it versatile for tight spaces. The combination of magnetic pull and a clean-release mechanism helps you work more efficiently without sacrificing precision or safety.

Parts to note

• Compact form factor that won’t interfere with drill clearance or your grip.
• Designed to protect controls, breakers, and other components from stray metal debris.

While the Chip Catcher is a practical addition to many metalworking tasks, results can vary by project and setup. Consider it a helpful tool for improving workspace cleanliness and safety when drilling in metal environments.
