The Mag Leash pairs a micro leash with a magnetic connection. Pull a tool off when you need it and reconnect it magnetically when you are done. It uses an 8 lb rare earth magnet to hold pliers, grips and other gadgets in place.

Specs at a glance

  • Type: magnetic tool tether
  • Magnet: 8 lb rare earth
  • Leash: micro leash

Good to know

  • Keep the magnet away from your compass and phone, since rare earth magnets can affect them.
  • Use it on lighter tools, and add a second tether for anything heavy or expensive.

KayakDIY take: Tools go overboard at the worst moments, so a quick-release tether is cheap peace of mind. For more options, see my fishing kayak accessories guide.
