T'other half is searching eBay for magnets to sew into oven gloves. A
bought pair of magnetic oven gloves ( http://tinypic.com/r/14wvg28/5
) came with 1¼" donut shaped (presumably ferrite) magnets which seem
to have a bit more oomph than the typical penny-sized button on a
fridge magnet.

One glove weighs about 130g. Information from eBay sellers is scant
regarding pull strength. Are these items likely to be up to the job:

Thanks for any pointers.

we have neodymium magnets in various gloves/towels - they seem a little
strong but by the time they are sewn in the fabric they work quite well

see ebay item 130593849615 - info on pull strength is listed

no, but they make your heart get 20% better mpg, as well as 20% less
emissions from your exhaust pipe, and you need to take your head off for a
de-coke much less often too.

I have this vision of not being able to let go of some piece of very
hot cookware, or accidently dragging it off the worktop onto the floor.

And they only work if you're facing north.

Ah, and if hung over the water pipe they obviously soften the water as well.

I hung mine the wrong way round. 8-( Now I'm getting the same mpg
as a Chieftain and the kettle looks like a stalagmite.
