Warning about those cheap magnetic tool holders

I bought a set of three from a discount site for $25, and they all failed within a month, dropping my good wrenches onto the concrete. The magnets were just glued on and the backing was too thin. Has anyone found a brand that actually holds up?

What did you expect for that price? I had the same thing happen with a cheap socket holder. The magnet peeled right off like a sticker. I only buy the ones with the magnet set into a rubber base now. They cost more but they don't dump your tools.

Yeah, the magnet set into rubber is key. It's not just about sticking better, it's about the rubber taking the impact when you drop a socket on it.
