Bought a cheap magnetic level from a truck stop for $25 and it fell off a tank after two days

Learned that lesson the hard way with a similar cheap magnet. Ended up getting a name brand one from a real tool store, cost about three times as much. The magnet on that thing could probably hold up the truck itself. Haven't had a single issue since, even in the rain. Sometimes the extra cost just saves you from buying the same thing twice.

What brand did you end up with? I grabbed a cheap one for picking up nails in the driveway. Thing barely held a handful of screws. Total waste. Switched to a Magswitch, and the difference is crazy. It pulls bolts out of tall grass like nothing.

Ever notice how the cheap version of anything just makes you mad enough to finally buy the good one?
