I bought some 1.5 inch Neodymium Disc Magnets.

I used some for holding tools.

I am looking for other ideas for what to use them for.

I was incredulous for the holding power of them.

After removing the separators between two of them, I had a heck of a time separating them.

I have 3 about 2x3x 1/2" stuck together. I am going to have to make a
special tool to get them apart. I have to be REALLY careful around any
iron of any size not to get pinched.

The computer hard drives have some very powerful magnets in them.

These ones of mine probably have a pull on the order of 150+ lbs.

Got any kids? I used to love to play with magnets when I was a kid.
Excellent toy.

I once had the horseshoe magnets from an sps-40 radar. Went to the
local pier and fished for tackle. Those were AlNiCo IIRC and todays
rare earth magnets are quite surprisingly strong.

They do make excellent nail finders for walls.

These super powerful magnets are not a good thing around small kids.
They can be dangerous, especially if swallowed. Or pushed up the nose,
for older "kids" playing with them for viruses.
