DIYMAG Super Strong Neodymium Fishing Magnets, 500 lbs(227 KG) Pulling Force Rare Earth Magnet with Countersunk Hole Eyebolt for Retrieving in River and Magnetic Fishing,Diameter 2.36 inch(60 mm)

I’ve been using this DIYMAG 2 in (50 mm) magnet for several weeks, and overall it’s a solid heavy-duty retrieval tool. What I liked: +Power: This magnet is genuinely strong for its size — it easily picks up nails, bolts, screws, and other ferrous metal pieces from the ground or workbench. +Build Quality: Feels well-constructed and solid, with a robust metal coating that hasn’t chipped after repeated use. +Eyebolt and Handle: The integrated eyebolt makes it easy to attach a rope or tether, which is handy for magnet fishing or accessing hard-to-reach places. +Versatility: Works well indoors (garage/yard cleanup) and outdoors (pond bank magnet fishing). What could be improved: -Weight & Handling: Because it’s quite powerful, it’s also a bit heavy — beginners may need a moment to adjust when pulling in larger or awkward scraps. +Real-World Pull Force: While advertised as 350 lbs, actual pull strength depends heavily on surface material and contact area. In many real scenarios, the effective holding weight is significantly lower — but still very strong for its class. Overall: This magnet is a solid choice if you want a heavy-duty retrieval tool for workshop cleanup, magnet fishing, or picking up nails and hardware. It’s strong, well-built, and worth its price if you need high-power magnetic pickup.

Very strong magnet! Worked great to remove a security tag from some pants that wasn’t removed by the cashier at the store. Definitely worth the money!

These magnets are incredibly strong and do exactly what they’re supposed to. Great for heavy-duty use—just be careful because they really grip! Overall: powerful, well-made, and very useful.

This magnet is incredibly strong for its size — it easily pulls up heavy objects and works great for magnet fishing or retrieving dropped tools. The compact 2-inch design makes it easy to handle, and the coating feels durable. I was able to pull up nails, bolts, and even an old wrench from the river, and in the garage it held heavy metal securely. The only downsides are that it can be very tough to detach once it locks onto something solid, and you have to be careful not to pinch your fingers. Overall, a powerful and reliable magnet that’s great for hobby or workshop use.

This item is strong, durable, and lightweight. The Magnetism is VERY strong Don't be confused by its size (however) —it's smaller than or just at the size of your palm. Although it is very strong, if you want a larger size, be sure to check the specs for a bigger diameter. Of course you should know that the larger you get the price will go up but the more Greater the Magnetization will be And be careful cause it literally will pull stuff through your clothes or hook on to stuff from your pockets or purse that your wife may take from you 😁👍🏽

Wow, this thing is powerful and appears to be of excellent quality. I bought it the day after the roofers left to see how effective their shingle nail sweeper was. I found plenty of staples and nails. This magnet is so powerful I need to locate it away from ANY PC, etc. since it will degauss devices with memory. I mounted it on a pole and made sweeping motions over an area. I could hear it click everytime I connected with a nail.

I picked up these magnets expecting something close to the listed 350 lb pull force, but they aren’t anywhere near that strength. In my testing, they couldn’t reliably hold even 5 lb on a clean, flat steel surface. For light tasks they’re fine, but the advertised rating is extremely unrealistic. The build quality itself seems okay, and for small projects or organizing lightweight metal items they work as intended. They’re compact, easy to handle, and consistent from piece to piece. Just don’t expect them to perform anywhere close to the stated pull force. Overall, they’re usable for light-duty applications, but the strength claims are so far off that I can only give them three stars.

Seems pretty strong. I will get to use it soon as I go hunting in some ponds with it. Oh I put in 1 drop of loctite as I do not want the bolt to turn loose. you really need loctite or superglue
