A tool system includes a magnetic tool base; mounting handles, each with an inner magnet and a lower magnet; interchangeable tool portions, each detachably attachable to a mounting handle; such that an interchangeable tool portion and a mounting handle form an assembled tool that is held together by the inner magnet, and such the assembled is secured in an upright position on the magnetic tool base by the lower magnet.

A support system for hanging of a cabinet door is provided having support arm and a main body with a top member and a front member. The upper end of the front member is operably connected to the forward end of the top member. The front member has lock features located at a plurality of positions between the upper end and the lower end on a front surface. The support arm has an elongated shape extending between a connection end and a support end. The support arm has lock features configured to engage and lock with lock features of the front member. The support end of the support arm having a platform configured to support the cabinet door during installation onto a cabinet. The support arm is movable between the plurality of positions to facilitate adjustment of a height at which the cabinet door is supported.

A tool for retrieving magnetic objects. The tool comprising a flexible rod; a handle, connected to a first end of the flexible rod; and a magnetic head, connected to a second end of the flexible rod. Further, the magnetic head comprises a through-hole for retrieving the magnetic objects.

A magnet release device and of the type having a hinge barrel 11 or hinge post 13 affixed to the periphery of the magnet, using a rotating lever arm A 15, which is cam shaped with a leverage tool port 26.

A magnetic apparatus for anchoring ferrous elements may include a support structure housing a plurality of polar units. The support structure has first and second sides at opposite surfaces. The polar units may include: a coil having a support and a conductive element wound on the support; a first magnetic core with a first coercive value, generating a first magnetic flow oriented in a first magnetic direction; and a plurality of second magnetic cores, each having its own coercive value different from the first coercive value. A first part of the second magnetic cores generates a second magnetic flow oriented in a second magnetic direction. A second part of the second magnetic cores generates a third magnetic flow oriented in a third magnetic direction. The third magnetic direction is parallel or antiparallel to the first magnetic direction and has a different direction with respect to the second magnetic direction.

Magnetic coupling devices are disclosed having magnetic field sensors. The magnetic coupling device may include degaussing coils wrapped about pole extension shoes of the magnetic coupling device.

A system for retaining a vehicular component for painting includes a magnetic fixturing element configured to detachably attach at the vehicular component that is to be painted. The magnetic fixturing element comprises a magnetic element. A fixture includes metallic structure that is configured to engage the magnetic fixturing element. With the fixture engaged with the magnetic fixturing element, the component is magnetically retained at the fixture for painting. With the fixture engaged with the magnetic fixturing element, the component is painted by a painting device of the system. After the component that is magnetically retained at the fixture is painted, the magnetic fixturing element is removable from the component and reusable on other components to be magnetically retained at the fixture and painted.
