Why These Rack Pins Outperform Standard Pins

Most standard squat rack pins feel like they came from a hardware bin.

These don’t.

• No loose hitch pins sliding halfway out
• No rattling inside the upright
• No cheap, hollow feel
• No second-guessing if they’re fully seated

Just solid steel, tight fitment, and magnetic stability that gives you confidence under load.

These are premium power rack accessories built for serious lifters training in real home gyms — not decorative setups.

Available Colors

All colors available in both 1" rack pins and 5/8" rack pins:

• Green
• Gold
• Black
• Red
• Silver

Sold in pairs — because unless you’re training in a cartoon gym, you need two.

Each pin features the Exponent Edge logo on the end cap to elevate the look of any rack or attachment.

Do we think our Magnetic Edge Pins are the best rack pins on the market?

Hell yes, and we built them so that confidence rests on more than chest-thumping.

Magnetic Edge Pins combine solid-steel construction, a strong magnetic end cap, smooth insertion and removal, five color options, and a substantial cap that gives you something real to grab. They are engineered to stay seated without making every adjustment feel like a forearm workout.

Strong enough to stay put. Practical enough to pull without introducing it to a crowbar.

What makes Magnetic Edge Pins better than standard rack pins?

Standard hitch pins often feel loose, rattle inside the upright, slowly work their way out, or require a separate retaining clip.

Magnetic Edge Pins use a high-strength magnetic cap that connects directly to the steel upright and helps prevent unintended pin movement. The solid-steel construction delivers a substantial feel, while the oversized cap makes the pin easier to grip and remove.

No loose retaining clips. No dangling cords. No wondering whether the pin wandered off during your set.

How does the magnetic end cap work?

Once the pin passes through the rack or attachment, its magnetic cap connects to the outside of the steel upright.

The magnet helps hold the pin against the rack and reduce unintended walkout. You also receive clear visual and physical confirmation that the pin is fully inserted and seated against the steel.

The magnet retains the pin; the solid-steel shaft supports the attachment.

Are the magnets difficult to remove?

No. The magnetic strength was intentionally balanced to provide a dependable hold while allowing smooth removal.

The cap is strong enough to stay connected during normal use, but you should not need a crowbar, two hands, or a deadlift warm-up to remove it. Grip the cap and pull the pin straight out.

That balance, secure when installed and manageable when removed, is one of the biggest advantages of our Magnetic Edge Pins.

Do Magnetic Edge Pins require a cord or retaining clip?

No. The magnetic cap helps keep the pin seated without a separate hitch clip, retaining wire, or dangling cord.

There is less hardware to manage, fewer pieces to lose, and nothing hanging from your attachment looking like it escaped from a hardware aisle.

Are Magnetic Edge Pins sold individually or as a pair?

Magnetic Edge Pins are sold as a pair.

You receive two matching pins in your selected diameter and color—because unless you are training in a cartoon gym, you probably need two.

What sizes are available?

Magnetic Edge Pins are available in two sizes:

• 1-inch rack pins with a 25 mm shaft
• 5/8-inch rack pins with a 15 mm shaft

Choose the version that corresponds with your rack or attachment-hole diameter. Always measure the actual holes and required usable length before ordering.

Why are the pins 25 mm and 15 mm instead of exactly 1 inch and 5/8 inch?

Rack holes and powder-coat thickness can vary between manufacturers. A pin manufactured to the exact nominal hole diameter may bind or become difficult to insert and remove.

The 25 mm and 15 mm shaft diameters provide practical clearance for common rack tolerances while maintaining a secure fit. Some movement may remain depending on the exact dimensions of your rack and attachment.

How do I know which pin size my squat rack requires?

Check your rack manufacturer’s specifications or measure the attachment holes directly.

• Choose the 25 mm version for compatible racks with nominal 1-inch holes.
• Choose the 15 mm version for compatible racks with nominal 5/8-inch holes.

Do not select a pin based only on whether your upright is 3 × 3, 2 × 3, or 2 × 2 inches. Upright dimensions and hole diameter are separate specifications.

Will Magnetic Edge Pins fit every power rack?

They fit many popular power racks, squat racks, half racks, wall-mounted racks, and rack attachments using compatible hole diameters and usable pin lengths.

However, rack manufacturers may use different:

• Hole diameters
• Metric or imperial measurements
• Upright dimensions
• Attachment widths
• Powder-coat thicknesses
• Hole spacing
• Required pin lengths

“1 inch” and “5/8 inch” are equipment categories—not universal promises. Compare your exact measurements with the pin specifications before purchasing.

What is the usable length of each Magnetic Edge Pin?

The current specifications are:

25 mm pin for nominal 1-inch holes

• 4.5-inch usable shaft length
• 6-inch total pin length
• 1.75-inch cap diameter
• 1.375-inch cap thickness

15 mm pin for nominal 5/8-inch holes

• 6-inch usable shaft length
• 1.5-inch cap diameter
• 1.375-inch cap thickness

Confirm that the usable shaft is long enough to pass completely through your rack and attachment.

What are Magnetic Edge Pins made from?

The pin shafts use solid-steel construction for a substantial, heavy-duty feel.

Each pin also features a high-strength magnetic end cap that connects to compatible steel uprights and displays the Exponent Edge logo.

What colors are available?

Both pin sizes are offered in:

• Black
• Red
• Silver
• Green
• Gold

The color options let you coordinate the pins with your rack, attachments, gym colors, or Exponent Edge equipment.

Serious hardware does not have to look like it came free with a tractor.

Can I use Magnetic Edge Pins with Exponent Edge equipment?

Yes. Magnetic Edge Pins can be used with compatible Exponent Edge products and attachment points requiring the selected pin diameter and usable length.

Potential applications include compatible configurations of the:

• Infinity Arm
• Edge Landmine Bar
• RMGHD
• Flex Wedge
• Shadow Rack
• Edge Core Post
• Other current and future Exponent Edge attachments

Always follow the instructions and pin requirements for the specific product. Do not assume the same pin size is correct for every attachment point.

Can I use these pins with equipment from other companies?

Yes, provided the third-party rack or attachment has compatible hole dimensions, attachment width, and steel contact surfaces.

Magnetic Edge Pins may fit equipment from brands such as Rogue, REP, Titan, Sorinex, Bells of Steel, PRx, and others, but compatibility can vary between product lines—even within the same brand.

Check the exact measurements instead of trusting the logo on the rack.

Will the magnet work on stainless-steel racks?

That depends on the stainless-steel alloy used by the manufacturer. Some stainless steels are strongly magnetic, some provide weaker attraction, and others may not attract a magnet meaningfully.

The pin may still physically fit, but the magnetic-retention feature requires a compatible ferromagnetic surface. Test the rack surface with a magnet or contact the rack manufacturer if you are unsure.

Do Magnetic Edge Pins eliminate pin walkout?

The magnetic cap is designed to help reduce unintended pin movement by keeping the cap connected to the rack upright.

Correct fitment still matters. The pin must pass fully through the rack and attachment, and the magnetic cap must sit flush against a compatible steel surface.

No pin should be used if it is bent, damaged, only partially inserted, or too short for the application.

Do Magnetic Edge Pins stop rack attachments from rattling?

They can reduce pin movement and help hold the pin firmly against the upright. However, attachment fit also depends on bracket width, rack dimensions, hole tolerances, UHMW liners, and powder-coat thickness.

The magnetic cap cannot eliminate movement caused by an oversized attachment bracket or mismatched rack dimensions.

Can I use Magnetic Edge Pins as safety pins or spotter pins?

Magnetic Edge Pins are intended to secure compatible rack attachments. They should not automatically be treated as substitutes for safety arms, safety straps, cross-rack spotter pins, or other load-catching systems.

A pin that fits a hole is not automatically approved for every job.

How should I install a Magnetic Edge Pin?

To install the pin:

1. Align the rack and attachment holes completely.
2. Insert the pin straight through both pieces.
3. Push it through until the magnetic cap meets the upright.
4. Confirm that the magnet is fully seated against the steel.
5. Verify that the shaft passes completely through the attachment.
6. Test the attachment before applying resistance or body weight.

Never force a pin through misaligned holes with a hammer or other tool.

How do I remove a Magnetic Edge Pin?

Remove all weight and pressure from the attachment first. Grip the magnetic cap and pull the pin straight out.

If the pin does not move easily, check whether the attachment is loaded, twisted, or placing lateral pressure on the shaft. Reposition the attachment to remove that pressure before trying again.

Do not pry against the cap or strike the pin.

How should I care for Magnetic Edge Pins?

Keep the shafts and magnetic surfaces clean and dry. Wipe away chalk, dust, metal debris, sweat, and moisture regularly.

Before use, inspect each pin for:

• Bending
• Cracks
• Significant corrosion
• Damage to the magnetic cap
• Loose components
• Excessive wear

Discontinue use if a pin is damaged or no longer seats properly.
