011 – Strong Double Sided Power Magnet

I was skeptical thinking this was one of those China Hoaxes but I was wrong. These things are super strong. I don’t know if they will pick up 300 pounds but they do pick up more than I can lift. I stuck the magnet to an I-Beam and could not pull it directly off. I even had trouble sliding it to get it off. Also I thought the dollar bill trick had to be a magic trick, like laying the dollar on some metal filings: I was WRONG. It will actually pick up a Paper Dollar Bill. HOWEVER every video I watched about magnet fishing off a pier, they all found at least one knife. All I found on my first trip was 6 fish hooks, a Miller beer bottle cap and a can top. There were other small pieces of wire that looked like they could have been old fish hooks a long time ago. Well I am impressed with this magnet and would recommend it

I introduced my nephew to magnets and iron fillings when he was 2 or 3 yrs old so he could visually magnetism work, he’s 7 now and still asked me to make iron fillings. But I thought this would be money well spent. I let him test it in the garage he couldn’t decide what to try first and went straight to the workbench and stuck it to the vice. I wish I had it on video we needed a large screwdriver to get it free.

Be extremely careful if you order more than 1 of thesem i ordered two, and from a distance of about 12 inches apart they pulled together and pinched my shirt. Tried getting them apart for about 40 minutes, and ended up ripping my shirt trying to get them apart. I then hooked them up to a winch on my 4 wheeler and the front of my jeep and backed up with the jeep slowly. To my shock the 4 wheeler started dragging accross the ground. I dont think these magnets will ever separate now. So be extremely careful, i was extremely lucky it only caught my shirt and not my fingers or skin.

It’s definitely super strong and it was exactly what I was looking for.
I had to replace my refrigerator door handle coz it broke, I had to replace it 3x and same thing kept happening, so I decided to go a different route that’s why I purchased this magnet.
Now I no longer have to replace the handle, the magnet is strong and does not slide off.
Problem solved!

Good strong magnet, a bit overpriced though.

Screw in magnet body was loose but has not come out . super strong on flat surfaces but not so much on round or curved ones . Had to slide it off to remove it so do not stick it to any surface you do not want scratched .

Don’t get your finger caught under it! I used it for a magnetic mount for an umbrella for work. It’s awesome.

Magnets are an oddity but it’s properties are a force that makes everything we understand and have no clue about function. Now these magnets are fine for everyday task of holding things up on the fridge and anything magnetic. Strong enough to hold several pounds but it varies on a few things.
Like any magnet, anything between them that isn’t magnetic will reduce its attraction strength the thicker or denser the more it will affect it, so keep that in mind when purchasing any magnet. Then some metals can increase its attraction/repelling when put In between or on the back side. You can try random metals and see if it works it might be the boost needed to stick well. Another thing is the size and thickness of the actual magnets makes them stronger but not always stick better. The amount of surface area is a big factor in how well the magnets work. Put a flat magnet on a round object where all edges are not able to make contact and you can pull it right off, then put it on a flat surface and now you can’t even budge it! You will need to slide a thin piece of plastic under or slide it to the edge and expose some of the surface to remove it. And watch out for bigger magnets because they like to bite!
So ultimately when deciding what magnets to get look at what you need it for and then think about how much you are going to be sticking and unsticking it. Small magnets might be better for objects that are moved around often and hold better than a big one if it’s in full contact. A large thick magnet would work for holding something that you don’t want to move but might need to eventually. And again make sure the whole surface can make contact for maximum strength which means pick the size for maximum surface contact not just bigger surface area and the thicker the magnets the stronger the grip! So pick accordingly depending on the object and magnets shape and size to make full surface contact. Those reviews that say the magnet isn’t very strong are often because they took a giant magnet and put it on something either oppositely charged but more likely half the magnet wasn’t in contact and therefore easily separated a fill contact makes it 500x stronger(maybe exaggerated but does). Anyway I rambled on enough in this dummies guide for picking magnets By a dummy. (There are tons more on magnets but not today)
Oh and these magnets are fine one star is lost because they came with a few small chips but nothing that effects them really. I’m painting them all now with epoxy or enamel paint. That’s what I recommend for protection and stopping the rust.

These seem well made. I am using some as hooks inside metal buildings and some I don’t put the hooks on them and have super glued them to red , yellow, and white lights to be used as emergency lights for older tractors , trailers that have been abused by cattle etc. and other uses. These magnets hold on tight and are doing well.

Ordered to hold up a 16′ x 7′ Christmas banner on our two car metal garage door. Wanted something that would hold the banner on during wind and rain, and also when door goes up and down. These magnets do the trick.

We ordered this type with the eyelets in case we wanted to tie the banners’ built in strings to the magnets, but decided to just put the magnets directly on the banner instead and didn’t use the strings. The eyelets come in very handy anyway as they make it much easier to pull the magnets off the door and move them. They are very strong and it would be difficult to pull them off without this “handle”.

Deducted two stars from “sturdy” because we did drop one magnet onto the concrete driveway and it broke into a couple pieces. To be fair the manufacturer warns you that this can happen because the magnets are thin/brittle, and they don’t recommend dropping them on concrete!

We liked them enough we ordered a second pack.

I use these very strong magnets to hang keys and office products like scissors and metal rulers. I use the tin Christmas boxes to hang clutter instead of a messy drawer. These magnets seem to not slide and can me trusted. I have recently used them for a fishing expedition to pull out some screws and a tool I dropped behind some drywall. Worked great!

Bought these for hanging Christmas lights from the steel under decking of our porch. Easy to use and strong.

Do not over tighten the screw or it will crack and use red or blue lock right. DONT OVER TIGHTEN !!

I use them to hold up my heavy photography backdrops works great

They are a great size and for my usages
