What a QuickMag Can Hold Besides a Standard Handgun

Most people think of gun magnets as something you mount once and forget about. Usually, it’s to hold a standard handgun in a secure spot near your desk, bed, or vehicle. But once you start using one, you realize how many other possibilities come with it, especially something like the QuickMag. It’s built strong and stays in place, which means you can use it for more than just a pistol.

This is especially helpful when the weather turns colder. With gear moving from sheds to cars, and from one bag to the next, it helps to stay organized and ready. If you’re already using gun magnets for cars, taking a fresh look at all the ways that magnet can serve you might make your cold-weather setups smoother and quieter.

Storing Extra Magazines the Smart Way

Let’s start with one of the more obvious uses outside of holding a full-sized handgun, magazines. The QuickMag's strength holds them with no problem, whether they’re loaded or not.

That’s not just about having a tidy truck cab or dressing up your safe. It’s about next steps.

• Spare mags stay exactly where you expect them, not sliding in a bin or bouncing around during travel

• You can set specific spots for certain calibers or types, so you’re not sorting when you could be focusing

• It helps faster reloads at the range, or better access in emergency setups

This can really matter on long-range days or when prepping for a hunting trip. When it’s cold out, we all want to spend less time fumbling through bags or drawers. Having your mags out, visible, and secure makes everything feel more in control.

QuickMag from VULCAN Arms is crafted with a strong rare-earth magnet core and a rubberized coating, making it perfect for holding multiple loaded or empty magazines without scratching or slipping.

Mounting Tools and Everyday Carry Gear

Sometimes, the things we use most aren't weapons at all. Think compact flashlights, utility knives, or corded tools that come with their own bulk. When we're bouncing between indoor projects and outdoor wooded areas, these pieces can really help, but only if we can find them quickly.

A magnet like QuickMag shines here too. With the rubber-coated base strong enough to hold heavier tools, it’s handy in places like workshop benches, garage walls, or built into your rig’s side panel.

• You can toss a pocketknife or flashlight on the magnet after each use with no risk of sliding

• It keeps tools off the floor of your truck, so nothing bangs around while you drive

• It helps keep your space safer too, especially when you're working in cold weather and gloves make gripping harder

When you’re heading out early or sliding gear in and out of cold car interiors, having dedicated spots for everyday carry gear makes a big difference. You don't want to dig through crowded compartments just to find the one tool you need.

A Quick Spot for Cleaning Supplies

Cold weather shooting trips often bring another layer of prep, keeping your firearms clean and dry. Steel brushes, bore rods, and other cleaning tools are easy to misplace. A magnet-mounted solution gives them a home right where you’re working, without tossing them loose in a box.

We’ve also found this helps when moving between spaces. Maybe you're cleaning up after a cold day at the outdoor range or prepping in the garage before heading out again.

• You can keep cleaning rods and small scrapers up and off a wet table or tailgate

• Items like lubricating oil or cloths can be stored nearby in a bag or bin and retrieved quickly

• It makes cleanup smoother because tools go right back where they were

For those who travel to cold hunting lodges or spend winter weekends at the range, this little bit of organization can save both time and frustration.

Tactical Add-Ons and Custom Gear

Then there’s the less obvious stuff, items that aren’t exactly everyday carry or tools, but still end up in your loadout. Small braces, optics, and certain steel parts can all fit on a strong magnetic base without shifting or scratching.

We’re not talking about permanent installs or storage for weeks at a time. This is more about the in-between. You're getting out of a vehicle, suiting up for time outdoors, and don’t want to juggle gear in the snow or wind.

Winter travel puts more pressure on how secure your gear is.

• If your side storage opens up in cold air, you want everything right where it should be

• Magnets can keep lighter add-ons like optic covers or unloaded braces from sliding onto wet ground

• First aid pieces with steel hinges or metal casing can tuck right alongside knives or tools

As weather gets worse, keeping things off the floor and out of puddles starts to matter a whole lot more.

QuickMag accommodates tools and accessories up to 40 lbs, offering hybrid mounting options with both adhesive and included screws for a semi-permanent hold at home or in your vehicle.

Ready for More than One Role

So if you thought the QuickMag was only good for a place to hold your pistol, you’re missing half the story. It takes a lot to keep gear secure, especially when roads freeze and tools have to work harder. We’ve found that wall strength and holding power are only part of its value.

• It’s one less thing to worry about when shifting what's in your vehicle or garage

• It helps save time whether you’re packing for a long trip or just getting ready for a short range visit

• Once installed, you’ll find new uses naturally, tools, gear, mags all seem to find their place

The right kind of magnet setup handles weight, adapts to space, and eases the chaos that can come from loosely stored gear. You don’t have to rethink your setup from scratch. Just look around at what you’re already carrying, then decide where a little magnetic help might go a long way.

At VULCAN Arms, we build tools that keep everything right where you need it, even when conditions get tough. Whether you’re moving gear between your home, truck, or outdoor setups, a solid magnetic mount can help prevent tools, mags, and other essentials from rolling around or getting misplaced. Many of our customers rely on gun magnets for cars to secure not just firearms but all types of everyday gear. Preparing for colder months or longer trips?
