Frequently Asked Questions

Bagnet can be used as a purse hanger or bag hook in endless situations and on countless objects: restroom stalls, restroom fixtures (like waste bins), metal door frames, restaurant table legs & bases, metal chairs, on your car, at the movies (under the flipped up seat next to you), metal fence posts and railings, metal desk components at the office, shopping carts, and more! Women are finding new uses for their Bagnets every day!

What's the difference between sport and luxury/leather Bagnets?

Sport Bagnets are molded rubber made with no animal products, and can be washed with soap and water to clean. The magnetic strength is the same on both sides, and the rubber is designed to stretch when in use and return to its original size and shape when not in use. Sport Bagnets do not need to be broken in to maximize their weight capacity. Luxury Bagnets are handmade with real leather and can be cleaned by wiping with a damp cloth. The non-logo side features thinner leather for a stronger magnetic connection. Luxury Bagnets should be broken in to maximize the amount of weight they can hold. To break in, repeatedly bend the leather Bagnet where the two magnets meet, to stretch, soften, and loosen the leather on the backside.

Why doesn't Bagnet support my bag on the refrigerator?

Refrigerators have a thin veneer of metal with a weak magnetic pull. Metal stalls and metal door frames are much thicker and have a greater magnetic force which means they're better equipped to work with Bagnet.

My Bagnet bends in the middle, is it broken?

Bagnets contain two magnets to allow some flex when pulling it off a surface. It will bend and crease in the middle where the two magnets meet. This also allows you to form it around curved metal objects.

The loop on my Bagnet sport and mini stretches when I use it, will it break?

The molded rubber is designed to stretch when in use and return to its original size and shape when not in use. Take care when removing your Bagnet from surfaces, if carefully removed Bagnet Sport and Mini should not break.

How is Bagnet better than other purse hooks?

Bagnet works in situations where a typical purse hook is inconvenient or useless. Purse hooks currently on the market are designed to be used on horizontal surfaces/edges and are not attachable to vertical surfaces. Other purse hooks used over the door of a restroom stall leave you susceptible to theft, while Bagnet hangs your purse at a safe height within the space, making it inaccessible to thieves. Bagnet also comes in handy as a purse hanger on your car while you load and unload, and on metal posts when you need your hands free.

safety

Will Bagnet damage my cell phone?

Internal components of a cell phone are non-magnetic, therefore a magnet cannot affect them. For memory, phones use storage chips which are not affected by magnets. Today’s cell phone screens are LCD (rather than the old CRT screens), therefore a magnet won’t affect them. GPS uses satellites and cell phone batteries are lithium-ion, neither of which are affected by magnets. There are many cell phone products on the market that utilize magnets, such as mounts and cases, because they are safe to be used with cell phones.

Will Bagnet damage my laptop?

Bagnets are safe when near laptops, in fact, we have them around our office computers daily. However, we do not recommend that they come in direct contact with a laptop for a prolonged period of time, as that can have adverse effects on the computer.

Will Bagnet damage my credit cards?

To demagnetize the strip on a credit card, the strip must be in direct contact with a magnet for a prolonged amount of time. It is not the strength of the magnet that affects a credit card strip, it’s the duration of direct exposure. As long as your credit card isn’t in direct contact with the magnets in your Bagnet, for a prolonged amount of time, your credit card strip will be unaffected. Credit card chips are not affected by magnets at all. Cards with weaker magnetic strips, such as hotel keys and parking garage tickets, are susceptible to demagnetization and should be stored in your wallet or in a pocket away from your Bagnet.

Will Bagnet damage my hearing aid battery?

Our research tells us that you'd need a strong magnetic field, such as one produced by an MRI scanner, to do damage to a battery. If using Bagnet as intended, which is to clip on the exterior strap or hardware of your purse, it should not affect the performance of your hearing aid batteries if they are inside a case inside your purse (or in your ear). However, we have not done any formal testing on the effect our products have on batteries so we can't say with 100% certainty that there would be no negative effects.

Is Bagnet safe for use near pacemakers or personal medical devices such as insulin pumps?

Bagnet should not be used by or near persons with pacemakers. Keep Bagnet away from personal medical devices as it contains strong magnets.

Is Bagnet safe for use around car key fobs, tiles, apple watch, and airpods?

Extensive testing has not been done on these items so we cannot offer an official recommendation.

Can Bagnet go through airport security?

It is safe to travel with Bagnet, and it can go through airport security and screening devices. We do suggest tucking it into your bag while going through screening as it may be attracted to the conveyor belt metal.

Is there latex in Bagnet sport or mini?

No, our silicone rubber Bagnets are latex-free.

weight rating

Where can I use my Bagnet?

How much weight will Bagnet hold?

The weight Bagnet holds depends on the object you're hanging it on. It holds up to 8 pounds if you use it on commercial grade metal such as bar stools, table bases, restaurant chairs, etc,. It also depends on if the metal is flat or curved, textured or smooth. This is why we recommend trying it for yourself in multiple environments and situations.

Do luxury, leather and Bagnet sport hold different weights?

No, our leather and rubber Bagnets hold the same amount of weight.

Will Bagnet support the weight of my bag?

Absolutely. Bagnets are designed to support bags of all shapes and sizes. When used as directed and on commercial grade metals, we are certain that Bagnet will hold your bag but if you are unsatisfied for any reason, return it immediately for a full refund.
