Absence of any way to neatly store the hose on my hand pump and keep fittings out of harm's way was making me crazy. Bad enough it came with a hose barely long enough to reach the gun when it's on the ground but they couldn't include a $0.07 plastic clip to store the hose?! Happened to have a broken neo magnet from a Slot.it 1/32 car. You can see below how it worked. This is on a Hill Mk5 but I'd think it would work for just about any hand pump.

Thumbs up! I have magnets epoxied to most of the stationary power tools in my shop. Good for having the needed chuck key or wrench or hex key within easy reach.

No problem glad I could help. 1/32 slot magnets are available from Electric Dreams, 132slotcars and of course that big auction site for anyone that needs one. I didn’t even attach this permanently, worked fine as is.
