Visited a small machine shop in Peoria last week...
I stopped by Anderson Tool & Die in Peoria on Thursday to look at a used Haas VF-2 they had for sale. What really caught my eye was how they had their coolant lines routed with those magnetic snap-on brackets instead of zip ties everywhere. Every machine on their floor was set up the same way, super clean and easy to swap out. Has anyone else tried those brackets or do you stick with the old zip tie method for organizing your lines?

Wait, they actually use those magnetic brackets? Never seen that before.

Oh you've never seen the magnetic ones? I was kinda skeptical too at first lol. @kai_stone99 they actually held up way better than I expected - I've had mine on for about 8 months now and no slipping at all. I hang a small tool pouch on mine every day with maybe 5-6 pounds in it and it stays put. The trick is getting the bracket tight enough against the wall so the magnet sits flush, otherwise it can wobble a bit.

Did those brackets hold up to heavy use or did they start slipping after a few months?
