Magnetic parts trays are one of those small garage upgrades that can save a ridiculous amount of frustration while working on a car. Nuts, bolts, washers, clips, sockets, bits, and small tools always seem to roll away at the worst possible time, especially when you’re working under the hood, beneath a vehicle, around suspension parts, or next to a tool cart. A few magnetic trays give those small pieces a safe place to land so you’re not hunting across the floor or digging through the engine bay halfway through a repair.
With this limited-time deal at Amazon, you can get the Horusdy Magnetic Parts Trays on sale for just $16. This is a 36% discount off their normal $25 price, and the set includes three different tray sizes: a large 9.6-inch tray, a medium 5-inch tray, and a small 4-inch tray. That gives you a little flexibility depending on the job, whether you need a bigger place for hardware during a repair or a smaller tray for bits, screws, washers, clips, or specialty fasteners.
The magnetic base is the main reason these are so useful in a garage or shop. You can stick them to a tool box, lift, metal bench, cart, fender area, frame rail, or another metal surface near where you’re working, keeping parts visible and within reach. They’re also useful for plumbers, HVAC techs, carpenters, engineers, DIYers, motorcycle owners, hobbyists, and anyone working with small metal parts.
Around the house, one could even work as a key tray, craft organizer, electronics repair tray, or catch-all for small hardware during furniture assembly. They’re also designed to be easy to clean with soap and water, and can even handle brake cleaner for tougher messes in the shop.
“Very handy in the shop,” said one happy user. “Strong magnet and easy to clean! They’re well-made and can be used for loose screws or random driver bits.”
Another reviewer echoed the usefulness, saying, “[They’re] perfect trays when working on the car. Different tray sizes are super convenient.”
