Mag-bear: Strong Magnets, Strong Barriers — and Fat Bears?

Mag-Bear Retractable Banner and Bear Week

Mag-Bear and #FatBearWeek

As the excitement of Fat Bear Week 2024 culminates tomorrow with the crowning of the mightiest, chunkiest bear, we at AME International couldn’t help but draw a parallel between these powerful, resilient creatures and our very own Mag-Bear – a beast of a barrier that stands firm with the strength of powerful magnets!

The AME Mag-Bear Retractable Barrier is a perfect combination of innovation and practicality. Whether you’re maintaining a safe work zone or needing quick access to a reliable retractable barrier, the Mag-Bear’s magnetic prowess makes it the ultimate choice for the job. Just like the Fat Bear champion, the Mag-Bear’s strength is unparalleled – holding strong with its magnetic paws!

But before we dive into the bear-like strength of our product, a quick reminder: for our #FridayFreebie, we gave away a plush Mag-Bear to one lucky winner over on our Facebook page, so if you missed it, keep an eye out for more fun giveaways soon! It’s un-BEAR-ably exciting!


Meet the Mag-Bear – Not Just a Barrier, a Powerhouse

What’s the big deal about the AME Mag-Bear? Let’s break it down.

The Mag-Bear Retractable Barrier is designed to quickly create a visual and physical barrier wherever needed. Whether you’re working in tire service, industrial settings, or any hazardous environment, this magnetic retractable barrier locks in place with its heavy-duty magnetic posts. With a durable construction and a retractable tape that extends up to 25 feet, it offers unmatched convenience and strength.

Just like a Fat Bear ready to defend its territory, the Mag-Bear is always ready to lock down your workspace, standing strong and solid. Here are some of the reasons why customers love the Mag-Bear:

  • Effortless Set-Up: No drilling or permanent fixtures are required. The magnetic backs attach securely to any steel surface, so you can set up and take down your barrier in seconds.
  • Retractable and Compact: With a 25-foot retractable tape, the Mag-Bear can cover a wide area without taking up much storage space. Once you’re done, just retract it, and it’s as compact as a bear curling up for hibernation.
  • Magnetic Power: The real game-changer here is the strength of the magnets. Whether you’re outdoors or in, these magnets ensure your barrier stays put in rugged conditions, kind of like a Fat Bear refusing to budge after its big salmon feast.

One customer mentioned on a product review site:
“The magnets are much stronger than expected, and the retractable tape is durable. It’s perfect for keeping unauthorized personnel out of restricted areas while we work on heavy-duty tire installations. We’ve used it outdoors, and the magnets hold fast in wind and rain!”

That’s exactly what you want when safety is on the line – something dependable, and the Mag-Bear delivers on all fronts.


Bears Aren’t the Only Ones Getting Stronger – So Are Your Work Zones

If you’ve been following Fat Bear Week, you know these magnificent creatures pack on the pounds and muscle to survive the winter. Like these bears bulking up for the long haul, the Mag-Bear is built to withstand whatever challenges come its way.

The idea behind using magnets for a retractable barrier is simple but genius. Instead of dealing with cumbersome, hard-to-move barriers, the Mag-Bear utilizes magnetic mounts that hold the barrier in place even under tough conditions. Think of it like a bear clinging to its prized salmon – that’s how fiercely the Mag-Bear grips to any metal surface!

Here’s another glowing review from a satisfied customer:
“The Mag-Bear has become an essential part of our shop. Whether we’re working on large vehicles or maintaining equipment, this barrier quickly blocks off hazardous zones. The magnets are incredibly strong, and we haven’t had any issues with it coming loose.”


A Perfect Solution for Tire Service Pros

Tire service can be a rough and dangerous business, with constant movement of heavy machinery and tires. Having a reliable way to section off areas without making it a hassle is key. That’s why the Mag-Bear’s quick setup and solid performance make it a go-to solution for many professionals in the industry.

Here’s what one professional had to say:
“We use the Mag-Bear in our tire shop, and it’s made life so much easier. It sets up in seconds, and we can block off work areas fast. The magnetic system holds strong, and the retractable tape doesn’t wear out. It’s portable, lightweight, and durable – exactly what we need.”

That’s the kind of feedback we love to hear. Safety is always a top priority, and the Mag-Bear ensures that whether you’re working with tires, heavy equipment, or in other industrial settings, you can create a secure, restricted area in no time.


What’s Next for the Mag-Bear?

We love seeing how our Mag-Bear continues to make waves (or should we say, “paw prints”) in the industry. And just like Fat Bear Week, where bears are celebrated for their strength and resilience, we’re proud to showcase our Mag-Bear for being an absolute UNIT in the world of retractable barriers. And speaking of bears, we’re already thinking about our next giveaway – who wouldn’t want a stuffed Mag-Bear plush to celebrate both the strong bear spirit and the mighty power of magnets?

The Mag-Bear in Action – Where Can You Use It?

The versatility of the Mag-Bear isn’t limited to tire service and shop work. It’s a great tool for any industry that needs quick, reliable barriers. Here are a few ways you can use it:

  • Construction Sites: Use the Mag-Bear to secure off-limits areas in active construction zones. Its magnetic strength means it won’t budge, even if the wind picks up or machinery causes vibrations.
  • Warehouses: Create temporary safety zones in large warehouses without dealing with bulky barriers that need to be moved manually.
  • Events: Got an outdoor event? The Mag-Bear can quickly mark restricted areas or help direct traffic flow. It’s portable and easy to set up, making it ideal for temporary events.

Wherever you need to keep things secure and clear, the Mag-Bear is there, ready to pull its weight.

With a perfect blend of strong magnets and easy portability, the Mag-Bear has become a favorite among tire service pros and industrial workers alike. And just like the Fat Bears, the Mag-Bear is here to stay.
