Pretty much as easy as it gets. MagFloat, eggcreat, 1 zip tie. works great very strong and cheap! Just thought i would share for fun.

How strong is it? if you hit the edge does the magnet loose partial contact and the rack dips a bit?

I picked up a couple Frag-A-Racks (www.frag-a-rack.com) and love em
