Master Magnetics Strong Magnet with Ergonomic Handle - 100 lb Pull Force, Red, 07501

I bought this to hold thin metal against a belt sander. Mission accomplished. I made a dagger and used this magnet to hold the parts while I sanded them, without worrying about losing fingers. The magnets a plenty strong enough to hold the part solid against the moving belt. The handle has a nice grip, easy to hold. It was a pleasant surprise to see the two plastic parts that cover the magnets themselves and keep things from accidentally jumping onto the magnets. This magnet is a staple in my workshop now.

Nice. I didn’t really know what it was when I ordered it. It is nice. Has 2 relatively strong magnets built into bottom & handle helps to lift or carry what you are picking up.

I ordered this magnet to use in my knife making hobby. When a blade is heat treated, it will often warp during quenching. The warp usually has to be ground out and that's hard to do without a magnet to hold the blade flat on the platen. This magnet works really well. It is super strong and when it grabs hold of the knife, it takes brute force to remove it. That's what I want because I don't like knife blades flying around my shop. This magnet has a nice sturdy handle, and it's just the right size for my needs. The price was really reasonable, and it comes with removable shields that prevent the magnet from grabbing things that you don't want grabbed. I recommend it highly and would definitely buy it again.

This item works better than some of my previous magnetic 'pick-up' tools. It's fairly strong and I like the design. However, I wanted something better. I bought eight 90lb Neodymium magnets and screwed them to a piece of 1x6. I attached a door handle plus a set of eye-hooks to the opposite side (to attach a long handle). This sucker works great. I'm gonna add eight more magnets. 90lb Neodymium magnets: ASIN B01MZ2JZON

Very reliable strong will not slip.

I use this magnet for knife making to hold blanks while i grind. It holds pretty good

This magnet barely holds 25 pounds of steel with the magnet placed solidly on the metal and in absolute center. I purchased this magnet primarily to pick up screws and nails, and for that it is very useful and perfect with the ergonomic grip. So I’ll keep it for this purpose at this price point. However, I find it relevant to test It’s advertised capacity of 100 pounds and found that it falls extremely short. It arrived in a box loosely bouncing around because it had popped out of its packaging, which was a clear plastic shell that does not seal well. I only mentioned that because if you purchase more than one thing, it may be loose in the box and it may be of concern because it is still a magnet, even though it has the shields on it. I’m open to the possibility I may have received a weaker magnet, and this may be a quality control issue. I have used magnets in the past that are small, but very powerful. I would not describe this as one of those.

Strong magnet, easy to hold and move around using its handle. I use it to quickly erase old video tapes, and it works great. Reasonably priced.
