DIYMAG Powerful Neodymium Bar Magnets, Rare-Earth Metal Neodymium Magnet, N52, Incredibly Strong 33 LB Strength - 60 x 10 x 5 mm, Pack of 6

Easy to handle. Very strong magnet, worked very well for my application. Probably over-kill, but when did I ever let that stop me. Great thing to keep around, because, when you have this kind of capability, it opens up a whole new world of possibilities. Well worth the money. If you follow the directions, in initially separating them, there will be no worries about breaking them. But, I repeat they are very strong, and it will be very hard to pull them off of a surface- you have to slide it off an edge to remove them.

These magnets are great. The key to getting them apart is to slide it. Push the bottom of the outer one up so it slides above the rest enough to grip, then slide it of the rest of the way off working it to the side and out. Do not try to lift it off. Yes they are so strong they will crack if not handled correctly. The plastic dividers allow for easy sliding - just make sure you don't let go till it's away from the rest.

They do what they should. Strong for the size.Super glued a couple of washers to the back of a sound bar, 2 magnets is all it took to hold it up inside the top flap of my toolbox. Pretty slick. Used to hold some fine mesh over a vent that bees were taking to. Lots of uses. Nice painted finish to help prevent corrosion. Will buy again when they’re all used up.

I’ve used these magnets in a few different applications so far - I used two per little solar motion activated outdoor light, and those have seemed to work great so far. No signs of falling off at all and no signs of corrosion so far either. However, I then tried to use two to hold up a small bathroom organizer device/shelving thing, but luckily I hadn’t put anything in or on that shelf yet, because after a few days, the adhesive completely failed and the whole thing fell off. So, if you are hoping to support any more than a super lightweight item, I’d recommend getting stronger/better adhesive than what is included with these magnets. Other than that, the magnets work as expected!

I gave it 5 stars because they are very strong magnets. It is the first time I have worked with magnets with this much power. I am making knife holders with them. The first time I used them I made a magnet train of 7 magnets. I tried to pick up the train and they snapped right out of my hand, sending one across the room and the others broke in pieces causing sparks to fly. I am not sure if they were suppose to shatter.

I would give 5 stars but there is some false advertisement going on in the title. There are NOT 33lb magnets. I have a set of 24lbs that I can barely get apart with all of my might. If you look in the body of the text further down the page you will discover they are 12lb magnets. I was fine with that before I ordered them because for that price it's a good deal. Buying the same strength bar magnets on K&J Magnetics' web site at this price gives you 3/4" x 1/4 x 1/4" magnet at very close to the same price. Because of the size of these I can use one magnet to do what I needed 2 to do previously with my experimenting. It's a good price for 12lb magnets, but the title description is wrong. They need to change it.Other than that it came in a very well packaged foam setup and they were spaced with little slips of plastic. Given they are only 12lbs I doubt anyone is actually going to break these.UPDATE: 12-12-2017After doing some investigation and using the K&J Magnetics web site calculator I have found that the strongest that this grade (N45) of magnet at the dimensions they are (60mmx10mmx5mm), the strongest that these could ever be is 26~lbs, and that's with a piece of magnetic steel on one side (putting ferrous metals that are drawn to magnets on one side increases the pull force on the opposing side by up to 50%).These magnets do have flaws on the surfaces as well ( I didn't pay much attention before). I don't know how much it reduces the magnetic power but I have read that it does. In order to get the nearest approximation of what these actually are (probably a 12lb magnet, with 50% more pull force if you put a strip of iron on the back to land it around 18-20lbs) it would actually have to Be an N35 magnet, not at N45. An N35 has a 20lb pull force while an N45 of the same size would actually have 26. More and more I am finding some things sold on Amazon has its origins from China and we're getting falsely advertised products. Raise your consumer awareness by finding out you're sure that you're sure about what you're buying before you buy it.
