Now that is a Strong Magnetic Attraction!

I don't know how I could possibly load everything exactly the same way it was loaded before. I did the next best thing. I took my neodymium magnet and went over to the boxes of nails and staples. They do indeed stick to the magnet. I believe the nails are galvanized steel and they are made by a company called Sterling.



For anyone who doesn't believe me, take your own magnets and you should be able to test nails and staples that you have. These are the type of staples used by a homebuilder, not the kind you buy at an office supply store.

Of course they stick to magnets, they're iron. But they're not magnets themselves. They only way they can keep your gate closed is if you pound them through it.
