  • Keep out of reach of children and pets. Tool Dots are small and can be swallowed or pose a choking hazard if compromised.
  • Indoor use only. Tool Dots are designed to operate from 0 - 105° F (-18 - 41° C). Extreme temperatures and humidity may weaken the adhesive.
  • Adhesive is permanent. The Tool Dot is intended for permanent installations. If forcibly removed, the adhesive on back will either tear the surface or leave the foam backing stuck to the surface.
  • Magnets are very strong (5.2 lbs of pull). Follow the handling instructions carefully while removing them from the packaging. Do not allow magnets to snap together with their full force while handling. They are brittle and may break in a collision sending metal pieces in all directions.
  • Magnetic fields from these magnets can cause damage. Do not bring within 12 inches of any magnetic based storage devices such as desktop/laptop computers, hard drives, floppy disks, cassette tapes, VHS tapes, or credit cards. Keep away from computer monitors, VCR’s, and TV’s. Anyone with a Pacemaker should keep at least 3 feet from magnets. A Pacemaker may be damaged or switched into “Test Mode”. If unsure, consult your doctor.
  • Do not cut, saw, drill, or burn. Cutting, sawing, drilling will break the magnet, and create a very flammable dust. Burning magnets will produce toxic fumes.
  • Do not use with irreplaceable items. Do not use for antiques, heirlooms, alien artifacts, or other valuable or irreplaceable items. These things are best kept in display cases guarded by KillBots or feral lab minions.
  • Do not install over head. Never hang above bed or in other places that may cause bodily harm if the Tool Dots were to fail.
