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...
