A powerful magnet, with only "pin point" accuracy would be real useful
for nail removal. In other words, the magnet would be held right over
the nail head. I'm not sure just how much force would be needed though.

I asked myself why anyone on earth would waste their money preparing and
filing a patent application for something that anyone with an
engineering or science education would immediately realize couldn't ever
be made to work.

My best guess is that the "inventor" got hooked in by a greedy "patent
assistant."

Or maybe even by a firm like the one George Forman is pushing on radio
and TV ads lately:
