Tools and Hardware Reviews of Magcraft NSN0601 1/4-Inch by 1/10-Inch Rare Earth Disc Magnets, 50-Count
Customer Review: Really Strong Magnets
Summary: 5 Stars
They are small but very strong. You get 50 pieces for less than 10 bucks. Nice for little projects and to toy around. Just not for very little kids who love to put things in their mouth. If you use it as a refrigerator magnet, one alone can hold a few pieces of paper. The mere size would make it hard to find when it fall down.Customer Review: Really useful
Summary: 5 Stars
Item arrived on time. The magnets are really strong as advertised. Just one is enough to hold my calendar on the fridge. Will get more in the future.Customer Review: Small and Mighty...and mighty small
Summary: 4 Stars
Whoa is the first word that came out of my mouth when I first took these little magnets out of the package. The pull is so strong it seems nothing short of magic and the way they repel each other is just as amazing. I played with these for a while because it's just hard not to and then I inspected for any chips/cracks and found none. I do realize how that could be possible because they will smack together pretty hard. Yes they can pinch. These are very small and very strong and it would not be appropriate to let very young children play with these.
To give you an idea of their strength, I found that you need only 1 magnet to hold 8 sheets of your average printer paper on the refrigerator. If you are considering getting these to hold items on your fridge you need to understand that due to their very small size, they are hard to pick up with your fingers. If you have long fingernails or arthritis-fuhgetaboutit. For me, removing one magnet from off the fridge means I need to slide it over to the edge to get a little better grip. That being the case, you should really consider some other option if you have a stainless steel fridge because it could leave scratches if one is not careful.
Like an other reviewer, I added only 1 magnet to a small cheapy pen and it holds nicely. I can even toss it across the kitchen to the fridge and am amazed how the pen sticks.
This is an exceptional value for the amount of magnets you get for the price but just understand that if you'll be using these on a regular basis to add the kids' artwork to the fridge as an example, I'd consider getting the larger ones that are easier to handle. Or, just wrap a few of these babies in a square piece of duct tape which will provide something to grab onto as well as protect the finish of the magnet and whatever you are sticking this on. It might be a little ugly but it does the job.
Another great trick is using these magnets as a stud finder. I stick several of these together like a pencil (easier to hold) and go over the wall and this does an amazing job at quickly, easily and cheaply locking onto any sheet-rock screws. I'll put this method of finding studs up against a 50 dollar stud finder! When it crosses a screw, the pull is unmistakable.
...and something else---two magnets on the earlobe looks like earrings...yeah, I had to try that as well just to see. The pull even through the lobe is strong and quickly becomes uncomfortable. These are fun and I'm sure you'll come up with your own "job" for these to handle and when you do, please share it with us.
Customer Review: Small and Strong
Summary: 5 Stars
These are small, but definitely strong. It's difficult to separate the magnets from the stack, and difficult to peel a magnet off a refrigerator door.
Just one magnet firmly secures a 4x6" picture to a refrigerator, but they are small enough that you may use four in the corners without covering much of the picture.
I used gaffers tape to secure magnets to a souvenir; the magnets worked strongly through two layers of tape! I used four magnets to keep the souvenir balanced on the refrigerator, but just one is capable of holding it.
Such a bargain, I am buying more for crafts or items I wish to display on the refrigerator.
Customer Review: Small but strong
Summary: 5 Stars
These magnets are small, but they're very strong. I bought them because of a dumb little project I saw online: Add a few of these quarter-inch diameter magnets into the barrel of a bic pen and you can stick the pen right to your refrigerator. Our grocery list has never been so up-to-date!
