Rack-A-Tiers Chip Catcher 84100 – Magnetic Drill Chip Collector for Clean, Safe Drilling

Overview

The Rack-A-Tiers Chip Catcher is a magnetic metal shavings catcher designed to sit on the edge of your workspace while you drill. By gripping the surrounding metal surface with rare-earth magnets, it captures shavings and chips as they appear, helping you maintain a tidy work area and quicker cleanup between steps.

Key capabilities

• Drilling up to 3/8 inch in size with the Chip Catcher attached
• Inner opening built to accommodate chips through a 2 inch diameter path
• Distinct plastic sheath between magnet and chips to simplify disposal
• Safe cleanup by minimizing direct contact with sharp metal shavings
• Protection for sensitive components from stray fragments during drilling

Why this helps in real-world use

The Chip Catcher excels in tight spaces, whether you’re working on an electrical panel, a cabinet, or a metal enclosure. It can be mounted on the top or bottom of a surface and remains securely in place as you drill in any orientation—horizontal, vertical, or through the top—without getting in the way of your tool or wiring.

Real-world scenarios benefit from a cleaner workstation, which can translate to faster setup and easier follow-up steps. The magnetic catchment system keeps metal shards away from your hands and from delicate components, offering a practical safeguard in everyday metalwork.

Disposal and maintenance

• The inner piece can slide away from the magnetic outer shell, releasing chips in seconds
• Cleanup is quick, reducing downtime between drilling tasks
• The design supports repeated use across sessions without sacrificing magnet strength
