These are not the cheesy magnets you would pick up from the planetarium/science store 10 or 20 years ago. These are high strength magnets that allow you to do amazing things around the house and office.

Do note that because of thinness of these magnets compared to their magnetic strength, you may crack/break them if using a tool (like pliers)to pry them off a surface they are stuck to.

Geeky fun.

I bought these to glue to other items to make frig magnets. They were perfect. I did have one break right out of the box because I lost my grip on it trying to pry it off the stack. It snapped back and cracked in half. To have this type of thinner magnet I am willing to be careful.

I bought these to hold an aluminum gas door closed on my truck after the original spring broke. They show a picture of the magnets holding together through a penny so I figured I'd give them a try after using hook and loop first and having it fail due to exposure to the elements. I got the tiny 1/4 inch ones and used epoxy to clue them on the door. They worked so perfectly and I found so many other uses for them I actually ordered two different sizes to add to my collection. They are so strong that even the tiniest ones will hold through multiple sheets of paper on your fridge, I've glued them to bottle openers and also to my BBQ tools to stick right on the side of my grille. I love these things and can't believe I never discovered them before.

When the packaging says "strong", it is strong. It is hard to separate them but I found a way to actually do it without breaking these thin magnets. Instead of prying them with pliers or whatever tools you have at home, just slide them away from each other and it will separate without having to use any tools.

After some toying around with the Magcraft NSN0570 1/8-Inch Rare Earth Cube Magnets, 100-Count, trying to get them to hold up 2oz steel tins of spices on the fridge, I knew I needed to go with something stronger. These do the trick perfectly; one magnet even holds up a tin filled with peppercorns. For this application, I find that they pretty reliably stay stuck to the fridge and not the tin, so I don't think I'm going to need to employ glue.

These are very strong magnets and, because they're so thin, a bit difficult to separate from one another. I've found I need to employ something non-metal to slide the top magnet off and flip it up off the stack. A used Amazon gift card works well.

So far I've had no issues with breakage, as I've been careful not to let the magnets slam into things from any kind of distance. They're not toys, and I'm not sure why anyone would think they were.

These magnets are very strong and did what I needed perfectly. I just needed a big white board (about 5 lbs) to stick to my refrigerator and 4 of these is plenty of sticking power. The only problem was they are hard to seperate, several broke when they got too close and slammed into each other. I would definetly recommend these to anyone, just make sure you order extra :)

True, too strong for their thickness (which I think is good) just careful because if they stuck to fast they'll ship.

If you are like me then you will have all important papers and pictures stuck to your refridgerator with a magnet. These magnets are the best I've ever used. They hold up to 10 pieces of paper easily!

I used gorilla glue to glue them on to some wooden cut outs so I could more easily take them off my fridge. This gave me more leverage so I could remove my papers cause my fingers had a hard time prying these small magnets off.

These magnets are very strong, so strong in fact it is hard to pry this size apart. I epoxied the magnets to the back of some objects I wanted to stick to a wall with a metal bar for a mount and it worked great. Be careful though as the thinness of this size makes them brittle. I chipped several of the magnets just getting them apart. This really isn't the products fault though as rare earth magnets are just extremely brittle in general. Once I got them epoxied in place i have had no brittle issues, and they are VERY good at doing their job.

These are pretty cool. Each one is tiny, but they are super strong. If you're looking for non-clunky magnets, get these.
