Oak Club Magpin 3
Oak Club Mfg’s MagPin 3 is a magnetic hitch-pin replacement for power racks and squat stands, used to attach J-cups, safety arms, and other rack accessories without the fiddliness of a traditional hairpin clip or detent ball. It’s the third generation of Oak Club’s mag pin, stepping up to a two-tone aluminum head with a rounded tip and fully concealed (encased) magnets – fixing the earlier MagPin 2’s tendency for exposed magnets to pop out. The shaft is stainless steel with 4-1/2” of useable engagement length, sold in pairs, assembled in Canada, and available in 1” or 5/8” sizes with a rotating set of accent-color and limited-finish options.

Oak Club’s MagPin 3 is a magnetic hitch-pin upgrade for power racks and squat stands, and reviewers agree its magnet strength is the standout – an independent side-by-side comparison found it tied for the strongest hold of any mag pin tested, and a YouTube reviewer confirmed the fully concealed magnets fixed the earlier MagPin 2’s tendency to pop out. Build quality is where the two independent reviews sharply diverge: one reviewer called it the best-built, most usable mag pin they’d tried, while another rated its end-cap design among the worst tested, making the pin difficult to remove and prone to visible wear from the extra twisting it demands. Versatility is solid for most attachments – the 4-1/2” shaft handles lever arms and larger accessories – but not universal, leaving a gap with some smaller attachments like Irwin roller J-cups. Value is the weakest dimension: at roughly $116 shipped for a pair plus US tariffs, it’s among the priciest mag pins on the market, and only one of the two reviewers judged that price justified.
- +Functionality: strongest magnetic hold of any mag pin tested, holding a 1.25lb plate without flinching (graymatterlifting.com)
- +Build quality: fully concealed magnets fix the earlier MagPin 2's tendency to pop out, paired with a rounded tip for easy insertion (YouTube: Carp's Gym)
- +Durability: larger aluminum head and encased magnets are noticeably stronger than the prior generation, with no reported magnet failures (YouTube: Carp's Gym)
- +Versatility: 4-1/2" shaft length works with lever arms and most large attachments, offered in both 1" and 5/8" sizes (YouTube: Carp's Gym; manufacturer)
- −Build quality: end-cap design is "one of the least helpful" tested, making the pin difficult to remove and causing visible wear from the excessive twisting it requires (graymatterlifting.com)
- −Value: among the most expensive mag pins on the market at roughly $116 shipped for a pair, with US buyers facing additional tariff fees (graymatterlifting.com; YouTube: Carp's Gym)
- −Versatility: doesn't fully secure every attachment -- leaves a half-inch gap with smaller attachments like Irwin roller J-cups (YouTube: Carp's Gym)
- −Value: color and finish options rotate in and out of stock, so a matching rack theme isn't always available (YouTube: Carp's Gym)
