Uses for Neodymium Disc Magnets
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. Andy |

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. Yup and they are nedymium mags. I've got several out of old hard drives. -- Bod |

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. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-52094804 |
