F80\u00d72 (129 kg, \u00d848 mm, 490 g)<\/strong>: Compact and lightweight, ideal for beginners, recovery in tight spaces or initial tests.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
F150\u00d72 \/ F200\u00d72 (189-219 kg, \u00d858 mm, 1.09 kg)<\/strong>: Perfect balance for most medium tasks (tools, light machinery parts).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
F250\u00d72 (290 kg, \u00d875 mm, 1.28 kg)<\/strong>: For heavier objects in moderate rivers\/canals.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
F400\u00d72 (470 kg, \u00d898 mm, 2.4 kg)<\/strong>: Maximum power for heavy professional recovery (motors, large tools, scrap).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
2) Advantages of double-sided design<\/h2>\n
Unlike single-sided magnets, ALLIGATORS concentrate force on both sides, enlarging the capture area. This means more chances of “snagging” on the first try, especially on uneven backgrounds or with multiple objects. The M10 grommet allows secure attachment to nylon, steel ropes or carabiners. <\/p>\n
3) Galvanized steel body + Ni: extreme resistance<\/h2>\n
Galvanized steel protects against corrosion in salt\/fresh water, while nickel (Ni) covers the internal neodymium. Together they withstand repeated immersions and outdoor use. Maximum temperature: 80\u00b0C – perfect for most Argentine conditions. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n4) How to calculate the necessary rope and accessories<\/h2>\n
- \n
- \n
Rope:<\/strong> Use braided nylon or paracord with a minimum capacity 5 times greater than the strength of the magnet (ex: for F250\u00d72, 1500 kg rope).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
Length: <\/strong>2-3 times the estimated depth + room for manoeuvre.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
Extras: <\/strong>Stainless steel carabiner\/carabiner, non-slip gloves, float to mark position.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Always wear thick gloves and glasses \u2014 the sudden attraction can pinch hard or throw the magnet. Never work alone near water. Keep distance from electronic devices and people with pacemakers\/implants. <\/p>\n
