Catch Every Metal Shard When Drilling Into Panels-The Chip Catcher

When drilling through a piece of metal, it’s impossible to not create lots of metal shavings. If you’re working in your workshop, you might not mind having metal shavings on the ground (even though they seem to get everywhere).

If you’re working on an electrical panel, though, you’ll have to clean up all the little metal shavings. This is a nearly impossible task to do by hand, but it’s as easy as dumping a cup into a wastebasket if you have the Chip Catcher.

The Chip Catcher Catches Metal Shavings

To catch metal shavings, simply put the Chip Catcher on the piece of metal around the area you’ll be drilling. The dish is large enough to accommodate even over-sized drill bits with ease.

When you drill, the shavings will fall into the dish, which you can empty when you’re done drilling. Since the Chip Catcher attaches with rare earth magnets, it’s easy to attach and detach in seconds, and it can be put on either the top or bottom of a piece of metal.

The magnets in the Chip Catcher aren’t just standard magnets. They’re made from rare earth components. Like all magnets, these rare earth magnets will attach to iron and metals that contain iron, but they’ll also stick to non-iron metals, such as aluminum or titanium. No matter what type of metal surface you’re working on, the Chip Catcher will stay attached to it.

The best part of the magnet? It has magnets on the inside that the shavings stick to.

When you’re done drilling and have dumped out the metal shavings, just throw the Chip Catcher into your toolbox. It’s lightweight and compact, so it’s easy to store. It’s also durable, so it won’t be damaged if a hammer or drill bumps it.

A Simple Tool with Multiple Benefits

The Chip Catcher’s size and simplicity can be deceiving. It’s not a complex component, yet it can make picking up metal shavings — and, therefore, any job that involves drilling through metal — much easier. With the Chip Catcher, you can:

• reduce your cleanup time and finish jobs faster

• ensure kids and pets don’t get into metal shavings

• protect valuable components from metal shavings

As more and more smart devices are put in homes, the ability to easily protect valuable components from metal shavings will only become more important. Even simple jobs may soon require protecting sensitive electronic components from small bits of metal.

Stop Picking Up Metal Shavings

If you’re tired of picking up minuscule metal shavings after every time you drill through a piece of metal, invest in the Chip Catcher. It’s a simple, inexpensive tool, but it’s one that you’ll reach for time and again — every time you have to drill through metal.
