Frequently Asked Questions

What are magnetic tool holders made from?

Magnetic tool holders typically feature powerful magnetic strips encased in durable metal or composite housings. They securely hold ferrous metal tools like spanners, screwdrivers, and pliers, keeping them visible and easily accessible on your workbench or wall.

Are anti-fatigue mats compatible with all workshop floors?

Yes, interlocking EVA foam and rubber workshop mats available at MyToolShed work on concrete, wood, and other hard flooring surfaces. They provide cushioning to reduce leg and back fatigue during extended periods of standing work, whilst protecting floors from tool drops and spills.

Can I add drawers to my existing workbench?

Many workbench accessories include modular drawer units designed to fit specific bench series. Check compatibility with your workbench model—for example, Sealey drawer units are designed for their AP10 and AP30 series benches, whilst some universal options can be adapted to various bench types.
