LOVIMAG Rare Earth Bar Magnets, Waterproof Strong Neodymium Magnets with Epoxy Coating and Double- Sided Adhesive for Fridge, Scientific, Shower Door, Office Etc, 60 x 10 x 3 mm, Pack of 12

I have a 15 yr old range hood that has 2 SS baffle filters. The plastic latch on each deteriorated so the front end wouldn’t stay up. New baffle filters were $140 each. So I thought it was worth a try to see if magnets would hold them up. First, I confirmed magnet would stick to my stainless. Then I got the largest size that would fit, and put them inside the hood, along the hood/baffle frame. They were strong enough to keep the filter up pulling thru one layer of stainless (see screwdriver pic). I put two in the front edge, would have been plenty , but since I had 12, I then put another on the inside edge, so used 3 per filter. Definately 3 was overkill, but don’t need the filters crashing down on my induction cooktop. Warning: these are STRONG magnets so when you seperate them- keep them 12” away from each other or they will slam back together. I chipped one corner learning this, but still used it as the magnet was hidden. ALSO, if you separate from each other- and don’t use them all, KEEP THE SPACERS BETWEEN THEM. If you don’t, they will be very difficult to seperate. Yeah, they are that strong. Given the size and weight, they are far stronger than imagined. And saved me $200 by not having to buy new baffle filters.

I'm working on a project for my airbrush booth, and am making magnetic exhaust hose couplers and these magnets are the perfect size and strength. I wanted black magnets instead of the typical silver These magnets are strong, very strong actually, when attached to each other, it takes a lot of pull to separate them. They have a nice epoxy coating that's not chipping off, seems very durable. The magnets dimensions are pretty spot on, they're also nice and thick. They come with adhesive pads that work very well. I do clean the surface of the magnet and the part I'm attaching it to with some alcohol first to ensure a clean surface. For the price, quality and strength, these magnets are great for my different projects and will continue to buy more as I use these up.

The other reviews have me questioning how often others work with magnets or I was lucky. Firstly there is plastic that separates each magnet, but to be honest they are quite a pain with the plastic in-between since it is slick as you slide one off it can cause two magnets to connect bypassing the plastic. Personally I had no issues separating two magnets stuck together. You just slide them and they come apart easily. Breakage? Either others packages were handled rough during shipping or I lucked out on a strong batch. While trial-erroring my project I had them connect to each other, drop on the floor (carpet so that's probably the savior) but still many double connects as I was using them to hold a heavy curtain up. None broke. Strength: You have to figure out the utility. If you're trying to hold something up, but placing the magnet perpendicular to it, you will need a lot more magnets if the object is over 5lbs I would say. However, when the the magnet is parallel to the object position the strength is more. I stacked 3 magnets across a 7ft metal beam to seamlessly hold a blackout curtain up. The magnets had to be on TOP and not on the side; on the side the curtain would immediately fall as stopped holding it. With the magnets on top, well...its been up for 3 weeks with zero issues. Fridge use: yes, or whiteboards for calendars etc... Garage use: yes, from tools to storage jars, when done properly these should last for awhile(easy 10 years) Car: yes, under the hood, extra holder for flashlight, just be mindful of winter weather and how the cold/heat affect magnets long-term.

Strong magnets when paired together. Pretty average otherwise. Super fragile too.

These magnets are very strong. But when I held one of these magnets over my “snake egg” magnet and allowed it to jump up to this magnet, it broke the magnet. I’m not removing stars for that, because they are thin, and I don’t know if this is standard fragility for any magnet this size. I have seen reviews for large magnets that have broken when dropped. Maybe they need to be handled with extreme caution. I will say that I found it interesting when I attempted to piece together the broken halves, they would no longer fit back together. They became immediate polar opposites as soon as they broke up…like a bitter divorce. They still cling to other magnets, but not the ends where they snapped. Knowing this bit of information, it makes sense that if the magnet has a flaw and begins to break, it will snap. I bought these to add to a magnet game my sister had. Instead of using a provided rope, we used a spare top to a plastic container and placed these pieces under the top to make the game more interesting. They were smaller than I expected, but I will say I had a chance to drag out my ruler and compare it with the dimensions on the description. It’s not like they gave erroneous dimensions in the description. So for what I paid, and the fragility of magnets in general, I have no reason to reduce stars based on my ignorance. Just be careful when you use them. If you drop them or let them snap to another magnet, there’s a great chance they will break. So be careful. One thing I did notice on these magnets is that one or two have pits or indentations in the edges. But again, the magnet did the job I intended, and I wasn’t entering them in a fashion show, so I won’t be removing stars. I mention these things so perhaps you’ll buy these with a bit more awareness than I had; and you will handle them with more care. Enjoy!

As a magnet, they are very strong but VERY brittle- do not drop them. As far as sticking to true stainless steel, they do NOT work. I threw them in my toolbox to attract small drill bits.

Magnets are great, the DS tape is not as strong as I needed, so I ended resorting to superglue. I broke one in half on purpose, because it was too long, but while it's still magnetic, using the two pieces side by side are not as strong as one solid piece. Just food for thought.

Very powerful for their size. Used half of one to hold my gate closed / stop it rattling in windy weather.

Good

Top parfait pour fabriquer mes rideaux de van, s'insèrent parfaitement autour des vitres. Il y a une petite pièce en plastique entre chaque aimant bien utile. Attention s'attirent très fort les uns les autres, se cassent du coup !

These LOVIMAG Rare Earth Bar Magnets are amazing! The strength of these magnets is incredible—just a small bar, and it holds even the heaviest items with ease. I use them for a variety of DIY projects, and they've never let me down. Whether I'm holding up tools in my garage or creating magnetic displays, these magnets are super reliable and versatile. What really stands out is their size and precision. Despite being compact, they have impressive pulling power and are perfect for tight spaces where larger magnets won’t fit. The build quality is top-notch too—durable, smooth, and they don’t lose strength over time. If you need strong, dependable magnets, these are the ones to get. Highly recommend them for anyone in need of high-quality rare earth magnets!

As described, magnets are very powerful despite their small size. They come packaged with small dividers between them so they are easier to separate. They are also priced well. Would buy again
