How the Mag Hitch Pro Is Made: Built by Hand in Owego, NY

Most truck accessories come from a warehouse. Designed overseas, manufactured at scale, stickered with a brand name, and shipped from a fulfillment center. You buy the brand, not the maker.
The Mag Hitch Pro works differently.
Where It's Made
Every Mag Hitch Pro is designed, printed, assembled, and shipped out of Owego, NY by Print Tweak Build Industries LLC. The person who had the idea, solved the engineering problem, filed the patent, and took the first orders is the same person building your unit. That's not a marketing angle — it's just how it works.
The Manufacturing Process
The Mag Hitch Pro body is printed in PETG on a fleet of professional-grade FDM printers. PETG was chosen deliberately — it's tougher than PLA, more temperature-stable than ABS, and slightly flexible in a way that matters when a steel hitch assembly is being dropped in and out under real-world conditions. It doesn't crack. It doesn't scratch your hitch finish. And it handles cold winters in upstate New York without getting brittle.
The magnets are 120-lb rubber-coated neodymium — the rubber coating is a design decision that protects both your bed surface and the magnet itself. Bare neodymium on steel will scratch your bedliner and eventually chip. Rubber-coated magnets grip, protect, and last.
The Patent
The Mag Hitch Pro is patent pending (application filed May 2025). The design is original. The problem it solves — storing a hitch ball assembly magnetically in a truck bed without drilling — hadn't been purpose-built before Print Tweak Build tackled it.
What Being Small Actually Means for You
When you buy a Mag Hitch Pro, you're buying from the maker. If you have a question, the person who answers knows the product because they built it. If there's ever an issue, it gets handled directly — not through a support ticket system and a script. The truck bed accessories market is dominated by large brands and distribution networks. Print Tweak Build is intentionally not that.
What's Being Built Next
A 3-inch receiver version is in development for Class V hitch applications. An adaptability kit for aluminum and CarbonPro truck beds is currently in testing — bringing the no-drill magnetic solution to F-150 and Sierra CarbonPro owners without steel beds. A BoxLink-compatible clip version for Ford F-150 owners is also in development, designed to mount directly to Ford's BoxLink bed plate system.
These aren't vaporware. They're the next problems being solved in the same shop.
