The width of a magnetic claw hand magnet refers to the distance between the two widest points and can range from 127mm (5″) to 250mm (9.8″).
A wider magnetic claw hand magnet would be advantageous for lifting long pieces of steel as they would be able to have greater contact along the width of the steel sheet.
The depth of the device can range from 40mm (1.57″) to 230mm (9″).
A magnetic claw hand magnet with a larger depth would be beneficial for lifting wide pieces of steel as they would be able to make contact along more of the steel sheet.
This makes carrying and lifting the steel easier as the magnet allows it to be carried vertically.
The height refers to how tall the base of the magnetic claw hand magnet is. It ranges from 24mm (0.94″) to 40mm (1.57″).
The handle height is always 172mm (6.77″).
The magnetic pull of a magnetic claw hand magnet ranges from 22.68kg (50lb) to 300kg (661lb). This means that the largest size of sheet steel a magnetic claw hand magnet could lift would be 1700mm x 1500mm x 15mm (66.9″ x 59″ x 0.59″), as this on average will weigh 300kg (661lb).
