Our Magnets are stronger than you can imagine.
Pictured here are three of our most popular disk magnets.
On the left, is one of our heaviest lifters -- D3712E (aka Disk #20).
While screws and bolts may not seem like much, if you've ever spent an afternoon picking them up out
of the garage, back yard, or at a construction site, you'll recognize the value in having one of these around.
On the right D2503 (aka Disk #11) is holding a 22 lb anvil, and D2506 (aka Disk #12) is holding a 35 lb piece of railroad railing.
Not exactly practical, but for magnets the size of a quarter, an impressive feat.

Our D3712E (aka Disk #20) is strong enough to easily hold this mountain bike.
The connection is something less than ideal, but still it takes a good firm tug to break the bike free of the magnets grip.
Although it is one of our biggest and strongest magnets, Disk #20 is only half the size of our
D7619 (similar to our old Disk #23).
Here is a nice shot of of one pinning Erica's hand to the refrigerator.

Crazy Aaron's Magnetic Thinking Putty
Super Magnet Anvil Fun
|
Last weekend, the gaussboys gang decided to hang out and play with some of the really really big neodymium magnets we have collected over the years.
The disk we are playing with here is similar to our D7626. If you think you need something this big, you should consult a psychiatrist first.
Anyway, our psychiatrist refused to see us.
So we went to the garage and dug up a 55lb anvil stashed for just such occasions.

Wow, that anvil is up there and it aint coming down. Lets use some of our new cylinders to hold up some other anvils. These are heavy anvils! There was absolutely no balancing required... they just STUCK!.
|
|
|
Not even close! Ok, it is obvious that we have seriously underestimated the strength of this one. "Hey Antonio, why dont you climb up there and see if you can bring it down?".
|
|
Swinging, bouncing, jumping up and down. This is scary business. That 55lb anvil isn't going to budge!
|
|
|
Not even Erica has the strength to make it slide even an inch!
|

That is about enough fun for one saturday afternoon. Has anyone figured out how we are going to get this thing off of there?
|
Well that was a lot of fun for us. We certainly don't recommend anyone trying this at home. Please remember that we are all trained professionals (even though we may not look, or act like it). This is one seriously dangerous magnet. It took antonio and myself quite a bit of work to get it seperated from all of that metal. And yes, we do wear gloves and goggles. 2x4's and crowbars come in handy as well.
We hope you have a little more appreciation for just how powerful some of our magnets can get. Given that this magnet didn't so much as budge while we were bouncing and swinging from a 55lb anvil that was attached to it, our best guess is that it can hold well over 500lbs. But who can say? Maybe someone out there will be kind enough to give it a thorough testing?
