This Magnet is no Joke

These damn things sucked a cast iron frying pan off my stove and hit so hard the magnets could have shattered (they’re known to be brittle.) FORTUNATELY, my fingers were not at ground-zero of that collision because I was still tightly holding the wooden wedge. I have no doubt these could have broken bones. I am NOT making this up! I love these things, but they are not a toy whatsoever!




This Magnet is no Joke

I don't often write reviews, but for this.....I had to write one. The magnet was everything as described, but please realize this is not a toy. This magnet is uncontrollable within 6-12 inches of a solid metal surface. If you are looking to just buy a strong magnet to "play" around with, buy this with extreme caution. There would not be much noticeable bone left if your finger was caught between this magnet and another magnet/fridge. Again, the magnet was everything stated in the description but its strength is no joke.

Scary Strong
I'm kind of scared of this magnet. It's so strong that it will move nearby metal objects even when inside of its shipping box. The finish is very nice. The magnet is very strong.

I bought two of these along with ten one-inch cube Rare Earth magnets because I need something darned strong for a serious hobby. I’d seen a few of the comments on YouTube and read the warnings, but they didn’t prepare me for using super magnets. I put these two together, SAFELY, which isn’t a safe thing to do. I started with a wedge of wood, two inches thick on one end, then tapers to nothing over the ten-inch length. I’d put one magnet on one side of the thick part of the wood, then slowly approached the wood with the other. It got away from me and slammed into the wood so hard I’ll never to that again unless I use some kind of machine to control the attraction. Then I slid the two magnets along the wood until they reached the zero-thickness. This became hard to do because the squeezing forces were slightly sinking the magnets into the pine wood. As I walked through my kitchen to the back door, the magnets pulled me into the refrigerator. I was holding them in front of me, but they were eighteen inches from the refrigerator! Later when I came back, I thought I was being more careful, but not careful enough. These damn things sucked a cast iron frying pan off my stove and hit so hard the magnets could have shattered (they’re known to be brittle.) FORTUNATELY, my fingers were not at ground-zero of that collision because I was still tightly holding the wooden wedge. I have no doubt these could have broken bones. I am NOT making this up! I love these things, but they are not a toy whatsoever!


Not as strong as stated. Claims 280 lbs. of pull, not even close. I do not understand why people say in reviews "it's so strong it's dangerous" or "it attracted something from 12" away" bunch of BS. It has to be about 2 or 3 inches away before it will attract things. Yes It's fun to play with but I'm very disappointed. Just want to warn others before they buy it like I did, with expectations of something great. After reading reviews I was excited, only to be let down. This is my third magnet to buy and be disappointed. No bone crushing to worry about here. Just a fun TOY.

NEVER PUT THIS ANYWHERE NEAR ANOTHER NEODYMIUM MAGNATE!!!! I was just testing is to see its strength from a distances and I was probably 1.5 feet away and the small magnet flew out of my hand and collided with this one, luckily it only chipped the small one but it did took me a good hour trying to separate them without the proper tools but overall is a great magnet!


I am not sure why i bought this..I didn't have a special need for it or anything, i just really wanted it. It's incredibly strong (i was able to pick up a sledge hammer with the my hand sandwiched between the two). I also would forget i'm holding it and walk near metallic things that would fly to my hand or my hand would get sucked towards doorknobs that i am opening. I experimented rolling it across the floor and rolling smaller magnets at it and the smaller magnets broke (and the super magnet chipped). So beware, it is brittle. Also don't leave it near any electronics for too long...

I can't get one. My pacemaker would go nuts.

The magnets in a hard drive are unbelievably strong. Drill them underneath an end table and it will hold your steel frame gun extremely secure. They will also pinch living hell out of your digits. -Anymouse
