LOVIMAG Powerful Neodymium Bar Magnets, Rare-Earth Metal Neodymium Magnet - 60 x 10 x 3 mm, Pack of 6

These magnets are very strong. But when I held one of these magnets over my “snake egg” magnet and allowed it to jump up to this magnet, it broke the magnet.I’m not removing stars for that, because they are thin, and I don’t know if this is standard fragility for any magnet this size. I have seen reviews for large magnets that have broken when dropped. Maybe they need to be handled with extreme caution.I will say that I found it interesting when I attempted to piece together the broken halves, they would no longer fit back together. They became immediate polar opposites as soon as they broke up…like a bitter divorce. They still cling to other magnets, but not the ends where they snapped.Knowing this bit of information, it makes sense that if the magnet has a flaw and begins to break, it will snap.I bought these to add to a magnet game my sister had. Instead of using a provided rope, we used a spare top to a plastic container and placed these pieces under the top to make the game more interesting.They were smaller than I expected, but I will say I had a chance to drag out my ruler and compare it with the dimensions on the description. It’s not like they gave erroneous dimensions in the description.So for what I paid, and the fragility of magnets in general, I have no reason to reduce stars based on my ignorance. Just be careful when you use them. If you drop them or let them snap to another magnet, there’s a great chance they will break. So be careful.One thing I did notice on these magnets is that one or two have pits or indentations in the edges. But again, the magnet did the job I intended, and I wasn’t entering them in a fashion show, so I won’t be removing stars.I mention these things so perhaps you’ll buy these with a bit more awareness than I had; and you will handle them with more care.Enjoy!

Don't underestimate the strength of these magnets. I may have to cover them in wire shrink wrap to tone them down a little bit for my use. Great magnets though 👍

What I like about these magnets ~• Black epoxy coating is perfect for my current application. The typical, raw, bright silver finish would not have worked for my project.• As expected, these magnets are very strong for their size. Strong enough to destroy themselves if care is not taken while handling them. (we are only human ~ ordering more than the exact number needed is wise: "better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it").• The included adhesive strips are pre-cut to size, saving time.What I don't like ~• At this length with this thin dimension, the inherently fragile magnet material is VERY fragile. It's common for neodymium to snap when attracted to another magnet but these will snap if you are not careful enough on setting them to a metal surface. If a project allows for it, a thicker dimension will be less fragile and be easier to work with.• I had assumed that the foam adhesive was already mounted to the magnets in the stack but this is not the case. As depicted in the picture, the magnets come with a piece of plastic separating them from one another and the foam adhesive is separate and must be affixed by the user ~ Affixing the foam adhesive to the top magnet in the stack and then placing that magnet (vs separating from stack before applying) was the easiest way I could find to handle this step.

The magnets are very good. The double stick tape wasn’t super strong. I used these to stick a mag holder to the side of a gun cabinet. The weight of the holder and mags kept pulling the tape from the magnets. I ended up using super glue to attach them to the mag holder. Once I did that I had no issues with the holder moving or falling off.

I am a hobbyist in lockpicking/locksports. I tend to buy comprehensive sets of many makers. One of the issues i tend to have is when I bring my lockpick sets with me, the turning tools tend to move around. When i open the case, frequently, the tools will fall out of their respective pockets.Some tools are in heavy nylon cases that fit tools loosely. Some tools are in fine leather which tend to still be a bit loose. So I chose a set of magnets that fit the more snug pockets In Leather cases.These fit my cases perfectly. Whether it’s in my Covert Instruments Garrison case, the Southord Max M4000, Law Lock Tools Renegade Pro, or the Sparrows Monstrum XXL, I find they fit perfectly without adding any significant bulk.Just last night, my case fell off of the table, and the tools stayed put. I can even flip the case upside down without them falling onto the table or floor.Considering some of the turning tools come from the UK, Germany or other places where shipping costs are quite high, the last thing I want to do is pay $30-$40 just to replace one tool, if lost.These come in a secure case with Plastic inserts between them, making separation easy. No magnets were damaged in transit.I have several rare earth magnets, and they are super powerful for their size. They do tend to be more brittle than most other magnet compositions so be careful not to hit or drop them.

Once the magnets are in place they hold really well. If you drop one or have to remove one, the likelihood of it breaking is very high. They usually break in several pieces. I would consider buying a less brittle magnet if your not using it for a more permanent hold.

I took a chance and bought these to hold a door knocker that’s metal (really heavy) to the front door, also metal. The magnets were the perfect size for the door knocker. At first I just attached them and the door knocker held, but could be slid off the magnets easily. I then attached the magnets with the sticker that came with them to the door knocker and that worked perfectly! I had no breakage at all of the magnets. I removed and attached them several times, I just followed the instructions on how to remove them by sliding. Worked like a charm. The door knocker is rather heavy and it’s holding great. Highly recommend. I am so glad I bought them.

I used 6 to hang a lightweight shelf/paper towel holder and the roll of paper towel itself caused it to slide down the fridge.
