Brake Magnets Needed  

Question:

I am very confused about who actually makes brake magnets. It looks like Dexter owns just about everyone else. What are the different brands available? Who makes the best trailer magnet? Thanks

Basically every company who makes trailer brakes has their own brake magnets. Dexter is one of the leading manufacturers which is probably why you have found a lot of their stuff.

Attached is a link to our selection of brake magnets for you to filter through. Two of our most popular options come from AxleTek (rebranded as etrailer) and are parts # AKBRKR-M12 for 12" brakes and # AKBRKR-M10 for 10" brakes. Each assembly comes with 2 wires connected to it, one for power and one for ground. It doesn't matter which one is connected to which function.

Most brake magnets are pretty similar and there really isn't a huge advantage from one over the other. If I had to choose the best it would likely be Dexter but that is because they have been doing it for a long time and really know their stuff.
