Tools and Hardware Reviews of Master Magnetics Alnico 5 Cow Magnets - 2-Pc. Set, Model# 07239

Customer Review: Teaching tool-Magnets in the classroom
Summary: 4 Stars

I've shown these magnets to two different elementary school classes and both have been hooked by the story and the hands-on aspect. These magnets are a great example of how magnets are used in the real world. They're pretty strong too, so I can use them during class experiments when a stronger magnet is needed.

Description of Master Magnetics Alnico 5 Cow Magnets - 2-Pc. Set, Model# 07239

2-pc. Alnico 5 cow magnet - 3in.L x 1/2in. dia. While grazing, cows eat everything including any stray pieces of metal or nails that may be lying in a pasture. When ingested, these bits of metal do not pass through, but can instead puncture the lining of the cow's stomach and cause what is known as hardware disease. Before this happens, a cow magnet is injected into the cow's stomach with a pill gun, and catches all the stray metal the cow eats. The magnet will stay in the stomach for the life of the cow. Cow magnets also have many practical uses such as holding nails or other iron objects in place, or cleaning up nails or staples that have been scattered. This cow magnet is made of Alnico and has a bright metal finish.
