How do you use the schrader tpms magnet?

Thank you. I was looking for the procedure on using the magnet. I'm assuming if the consumer procedure used before 2011 applied and then just start at the driver-side front wheel and move clockwise around the vehicle once the previous tire was completed. Reports say that only the dealer tpms reset method is valid after the post 2011 model year made by GM.

The magnet is used to "wake up" the TPMS Sensors, I place the hole of the magnet around the Valve and leave it for 10 minutes, understanding the the sensor is already installed in the wheel, after that I use the "TECH400SD" from Bartec for programing the Sensors.

Place the magnet on tire air valve, the valve in the middle hole. Use the car computer instructions to reset your TPMS one wheel at a time. Once you begin you must finish all wheels within ~5minutes. I used it on my Corvette and it worked very well. If this information is not clear enough, just google it to get helping instructions. There are also a pretty good Utube instructions. Good Luck!

For 2005 Ford Explorer (might work for other models as well), see http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1284024&postcount;=13 .

To reset your cars TPMS system. Usually when a new TPMS sensor is added or replaced when you get new tires. The use of this magnet, allows your cars TPMS computer to "find" the wheel, and reset it.

I use Wiha Tools - Magnetizer/Demagnetizer Tool Magnetizer/Demagnetizer to magnetize which ever bit I am using. This works great for me, especially really small screws that is hard to hold.

I had this issue with a new one, it turned out the magnetic part that goes on the crank arm wasn't a magnet at all.. .. so I used a small magnet I had and just stuck it to the end of the pedal bolt and it worked fine... (which was also a bonus, I didn't really have enough room for that whole rubber thing to fit between the crank and chainstay)

Not too sure, I usually only use the magnet part of the mount. Sorry, but the magnetic mount is great!

If you mean by using the magnet on the end of the "Reacher" NO! No! NO! Aluminum will not attract to a magnet. That is one way junk yards separate iron and steel from aluminum. Huge electro-magnets pick up the iron products and the aluminum items fall out. You should have learned that in grade school!! If you mean by use of the jaws or clamp on the end-- it works but there must be something better. I found it barely goes around a can and is then difficult to discard the can. I assume you are planning on picking up hundreds. Until you find something better why not put a nail backwards in a stick and use it like people pick up litter? Aluminum cabs are very thin and puncture easily. Good Luck. If you mean by using the magnet on the end of the "Reacher" NO! No! NO! Aluminum will not attract to a magnet.

It isn't possible to answer your question without knowing the size of the magnet you would like to use! However, personally wouldn't bother. Just put a dab of gun grease on the screw and it'll stick in the driver. Wipe off the excess when done. Easy!

Hello, I've never used mine but it is supposed to be safe for TPM systems. That's why I bought it for my car.

These are held to a flat steel "donut" of metal which is itself attached to the mounting surface with a pair of screws. The magnet holds to the steel by only the magnetic pull itself, but that attraction is VERY strong! I suspect, if you are very careful, you may be able to slip a flat-blade screwdriver or strong putty knife under the lip of the magnet, between the magnet and the wall, and pry it away from the steel backing plate it is attracted to. I would caution you in this! There is a very good chance you will damage the wall beneath the magnet, where you are prying against it! The attraction between magnet and plate is that strong! Also, be wary of your fingers when trying to slip your prying device under the lip of the magnet; you will need to use a lot of pressure, and if it slips, it could stab into something! The attraction between that magnet and the metal plate behind it is so strong, I can't think of any way you could simply grab it and pull it away. Perhaps with a suitable clamp, or a very large pair of vice grips? But you're likely to mar the surface of the magnet if you aren't careful. Once you have the magnet pulled away from the backing plate, those can simply be unscrewed from the wall they are attached to.

You could probably get it to work with a little bit of effort? It works by reading a magnetetic bolt that holds a disk to the wheel. Just use the magnet and calibrate itto the size tire just like you would for a motorcycle.

Sorry for the delay in answering. My car does not have a TPMS. This is usually a module that is part of the wheel, not the tire. I see no reason why this tire would not work on a TPMS-equipped vehicle.

I can tell you from personal experience that the magnet did not work on my 2011 Ford Fusion with aftermarket TPMS. I have not tried it on factory TPMS. I hope this helps.

I'm using it on a model 16 and 116 meter. My meter is in the yellow rubber case. The rear had a round hole. I run the strap thru the hole to use the magnetic holder. It serves my purpose but it is not an exact prefect fit. I don't know your model or case specs. If there's a way and you need me to post a pic I will.

Some cookware manufacturers make a "disc" on a handle that is magnetic. You place this disc between the cooktop and a non-magnetic pan and the disc becomes hot and heats the pan. Amazon sells one under the name Max Burton. I talked to an engineer at Max Burton and he told me that most of the cooktops cannot sense the magnetic materials in the smaller pots and pans made by Gourmet Chef, Bella, and another company that starts with Swiss .... The engineer said there is not ebough magnetic steel in the smaller pots and pans for the cooktops to sense. Hope this helps

Use pliers to hold the retaining nut then twist the dial. But after reading my review (be leery of this one) you wont want to buy it.

Never tried it on aback whell guess it would just need to make sure comp is set size of tire and magnet crosses sensor within the area marked on the sensor. Another thing is distance magnet is from sensor, they all have max distance beyound which sensorvwill not detect be curious to hear how it turns out

It doesn't have a clip or magnet. It just hangs on the freezer shelf. You would need to secure the thermometer someway to use it on a motorcycle. The only reason to use it that way would be if you wanted to track the high and low temp. Otherwise, you could probably find one more suited to a motor cycle.

The bits are held in place by a magnet in the handle. The handle actually has two places where you can use bits. There is a fixed, non-ratcheting magnet on the longer end of the handle (the end of the handle closest to the "T" in Dewalt), and then the silver ratcheting collar also has a magnet for bits. You can use the ratchet feature in forward, reverse and neutral by rotating the silver ratchet collar.
