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!

This product fulfills its claim of being very strong magnets. They are incredibly strong for such small magnets. The magnets are also very reasonably priced for the large number contained in the package. The one problem is that the magnets chip when they cling together or cling to a hard metal surface. This chipping does not occur all the time, however in the first hour of use, three magnets were chipped. This is understandable because the package clearly states that the magnets are not toys, however it would be nice if the magnets were a bit sturdier. If you intend to use these magnets for more serious matters, then I'm sure they will work perfectly. If you intend to use them for entertainment they will likely be short lived fun.

My magnets just arrived a few days ago and yet I'm already considering ordering more. Now that I have them here and have seen how strong they are (two of them can hold a calendar up on my fridge which in November is really saying something) I keep thinking of new uses. I'm taking 2 to work tomorrow, no more nametag pin holes in my clothes! Although I initially wanted only a dozen of these for an art project, I'm now planning on ordering more, they're almost too useful!

I used magnetic paint to paint a section of a wall in my kids' bedrooms (although it's not really magnetic, it's metal, and magnets stick to it). Magnetic paint needs really strong magnets to stick to it, and after doing a little looking on Amazon, I went with these.

I wish I had gotten larger ones. On magnetic paint (4 coats, if you are interested), it takes two of these little magnets to hang one piece of 8.5x11 paper. I'll rate these 5 stars because the magnets are still great, it's just that I should have used bigger ones for my purposes.

These magnets are unbelievably strong. When I opened the package they literally jumped out of my hand and pinched my other hand. The magnetic field is so strong it is almost visible. (not really) Please be cautious around children I'd hate to see what happens if one or two were ingested. They will also RUIN a television or monitor in short order trust me please. Just don't go there. These aren't just powerfull magnets. They are amazing. I'm going to buy more. Everybody gets rare earth magnets for Christmas 08. The countersunk ones are great for hanging tools, pictures, door latches on cabinets etc. Refrigerators. Fingernails required.

This is an industrial product that you can use to solve around the house problems. For me, my problem was that the sunscreen vanity mirror on my truck has a flap that's broken so when I put my visor down, the flap falls down - it looks bad. Apparently, it's a design flaw and if I order a new sunscreen, the mirror will simply break in a few months. Hmmm. So I bought theses magnets which I gluegunned to the vanity mirror to keep it shut - works like a charm for me and looks like a factory repair.

So I guess what I'm saying is that there are a myriad of industrial uses. Some have said they're great fridge magnets, and that they are but I recommend Magcraft NSN0573 3/8-Inch by 1/8-Inch Rare Earth Disc Magnets, 30-Count which are bigger.

Just note, these things are strong, not for the faint of heart, they stick.

NOTE TO PARENTS: These things are not toys and they're easy to ingest....and they are very damaging to the intestines if a child should ingest these (especially a few of them because they stick to one another). So, keep close control of these things.

These magnets ended up being the exact thing I needed for the metal walls surrounding my cubicle. They are SOOO strong that it's almost comical.

Good transaction. Would buy from this seller again.

They're strong little magnets, which can be a little hard to get off metal surfaces if you don't have fingernails. I find that they're easier to take off if you have several attached to each other (this forms a bigger nub that you can grab on to) so I'm trying to keep 4-5 spares lying around for this purpose.

When I got these magnets, I thought it was a joke. They're MUCH smaller then you anticipate. Yeah...I know the description says 1/4" x 1/10"...but 1/10" is REALLY small. However...these are impressively strong and can hold a good deal of weight. If anything they're TOO strong as it can be difficult to get them off.

These magnets were great for my own personal do-it-yourself magnet-making! Just the right size, and great strength. Thank you!
