Automotive Magnetic Tow Hook HENRY 454052 — magnetic attachment for towing and securing small loads

HENRY Automotive Magnetic Tow Hook is a magnetic attachment designed for use on vehicles with ferrous metal body panels. It creates a removable mounting point for towing, securing small loads, or attaching temporary fixtures without drilling or permanent modification. The product offers a compact, readily deployable solution for emergency towing, workshop tasks and short-term anchoring on metal surfaces.

Advantages

The magnetic tow hook provides rapid, tool-free installation and removal while leaving no permanent marks when used correctly on clean, painted metal surfaces. Its strong magnetic base ensures a secure hold on steel panels, and the integrated tow hook or eyelet allows simple connection to straps, ropes or tow lines. The compact design is easy to store in a vehicle and suitable for occasional or emergency use.

Suitable for

• Emergency towing of light vehicles or trailers where a temporary anchor is needed
• Securing small loads on metal roof racks or cargo areas
• Temporary attachment of fixtures or signage to a vehicle during repairs or events
• Workshop tasks that require a removable anchor point on steel surfaces

Key specifications

• Mounting type: magnetic base for ferrous metal surfaces
• Attachment: integrated tow hook / eyelet for straps, ropes or tow lines
• Design: compact, portable housing suitable for vehicle storage
• Usage: intended for temporary towing and securing small loads

How to use

Select a flat, clean section of painted or bare steel on the vehicle where the magnetic base can sit flush. Clean the area of dirt, grease and loose paint to maximize magnetic contact. Place the magnetic base firmly onto the metal surface until the magnet engages, then attach the tow strap, rope or securing line to the hook or eyelet. Apply gradual tension when beginning to tow or secure a load, and monitor the anchor during use to ensure it remains seated.

Usage recommendations

Do not use the magnetic tow hook on aluminum, composite or non-ferrous panels. Avoid relying on the device for heavy or continuous towing—use it only for light, temporary towing or securing tasks. Inspect the mounting surface and the product for damage before each use and remove the magnet if paint is peeling or the surface is dented. Store the tow hook in a dry place to prevent corrosion.
