Ideal Industries 36-815 DEADEYE Magnetic Chip Collector

The Ideal Industries 36-815 DEADEYE Magnetic Chip Collector is built for electricians and installers who need a fast, reliable way to capture metal shavings, drill chips, and knockout slugs generated during panel, enclosure, and box fabrication. Part of the DEADEYE series from Ideal Industries, this magnetic chip collector helps keep loose metal debris out of live equipment, terminals, and wiring compartments where stray shavings can cause shorts or equipment damage. Its magnetic design allows it to grab and hold ferrous metal fragments right at the point of drilling or cutting, so crews spend less time cleaning up and less time worrying about debris left behind inside energized enclosures.

Key Features

  • Magnetic Chip Capture: Uses magnetic attraction to collect metal chips, shavings, and slugs generated during drilling, punching, and knockout removal, keeping them from falling into panels or enclosures.
  • DEADEYE Series Design: Engineered as part of Ideal Industries' DEADEYE line, purpose-built for electrical fabrication and installation tasks where metallic debris control is critical.
  • Panel & Enclosure Safety: Helps reduce the risk of shorts, arcing, or equipment damage caused by stray metal shavings left inside electrical boxes, panels, and enclosures after fabrication work.
  • Job-Site Efficiency: Speeds up cleanup on the job by pulling debris away from the work area as it is generated, rather than requiring a separate sweep or vacuum pass after drilling.
  • Professional-Grade Tool: Manufactured by Ideal Industries, a recognized supplier of tools and accessories for electrical contractors, panel shops, and industrial maintenance teams.

Ideal Industries 36-815 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the Ideal Industries 36-815 DEADEYE magnetic chip collector actually do on a panel job?
It's a magnetic debris catcher for electrical fabrication. When you drill, punch, or pop knockouts in a panel, enclosure, or box, the 36-815 holds the metal chips, shavings, and slugs at the point of work so they don't drop into terminals or wiring compartments. That matters because loose ferrous debris left inside a live enclosure is a short and arcing risk, and it saves a separate sweep or vacuum pass after drilling.
2) Will a magnetic chip collector pick up aluminum or stainless shavings from an enclosure?
No. The DEADEYE 36-815 works by magnetic attraction, so it grabs ferrous fragments only. Chips from aluminum enclosures, 300-series stainless, brass, or PVC won't stick to it, and for those you still need a vacuum or a shop rag under the drill point.
3) Is the Ideal 36-815 the right part number to order, and what series is it from?
Order it as Ideal Industries 36-815. It's part of Ideal's DEADEYE line, and the manufacturer part number matches the catalog number exactly, so 36-815 is what you quote to a distributor. There is one configuration, so there's no finish, size, or handing choice to specify.
4) Do I need a magnetic chip collector if I already carry a shop vac for panel work?
They do different jobs. A vac is a cleanup pass after the fact; the 36-815 pulls ferrous debris away as it's generated, before it can fall past the knockout into a wiring compartment. On an energized or partially terminated panel where you can't easily get a vac nozzle inside, catching chips at the source is the point. For non-ferrous or plastic swarf, you still want the vac.
5) What kind of crews is the DEADEYE chip collector meant for?
It's aimed at commercial and industrial electrical work: panelboard and enclosure fabrication, drilling and punching knockouts in boxes, panel shop builds, and field fabrication. Facility maintenance and MRO teams doing retrofit work inside existing gear use it for the same reason, keeping shavings out of live equipment during the cut.
