Hang it anywhere there's metal

Wetsuits on the van door, towels on the tailgate, tools in the garage. KEEPa's heavy-duty magnetic clip grips tight and lets go when you're done. No hooks, no holes, no drilling.

Best Gear of Overland Expo East 2026.                                        Chris BradleyOctober 29, 2026

One of our favorite pieces of gear we found this weekend was also one of the simplest and least expensive, and went home with quite a few Overland Expo staffers. The KEEPa is a durable, rubberized clip with a strong magnet at each end. A textured surface at each end, in combination with the magnets, provides an easy way to temporarily hold a wide variety of objects to a metal surface. The non-marring material provides a great way to hang wet towels out to dry, hang a trash bag from a vehicle fender or simply loop two bag handles together. We love the ease of mounting and de-mounting the magnetic clip, but it does have a mounting hole for those looking for a more permanent mounting point. We expect to see more and more of these out in the wild as people brainstorm creative uses for the KEEPa. Check out their website for the two available sizes as well as some ideas for putting them to use.
