Now that's just funny right there!

I dunno, I have a bunch of the magnets from microwaves, would they even be strong enough to pull something up that high? my luck it would only pull it halfway up and drop it and I'd run over it anyways lol.

My yard uses a leaf blower all the time to blow small stuff out of the parking areas, they may have a magnet but have never seen it if they do.

I would have to buy 4 for my Dodge Dually, they would never pickup enough to pay for themselves. Les Schwab fixes flats for free unless real bad puncture.

I'll be looking into that. Thanks, johnnybegoods. Never knew they made such a thing. I been wishing I had a magnet like yard.

Yea they work good. I use to work at power plants (building them an or doing shut downs) an they would run them under the trucks.

I hate when my truck gets a flat but...I take insurance out for damaged tires...don't know why they will keep on fixing them but I wont ask them that one.

My trailers run mobile home axles (the trailer I run where I have a high likely hood of killing tires) as I can buy a brand new rim an tire for $30 each. So when I get a flat tire an my trailer is loaded an I feel REAL lazy...I will keep driving an the tire will fly off an bend the rim up like hell...go to a tire shop an have them change the tire an put another $30 tire on it. My trailer has dual axles so....I can get away driving on a dead tire/rim.

How well does it work for loading onto a trailer? Seems like it would be a real back-saver for what i use a forklift or bucket now. How does it release?
