    The problem I have with those magnets is every time I get close to anything steel it sticks to it even if it's in mt pocket. I never buy magnets, to many free onesout there.

    I buy them for an advertising handout.. We use the many magnets we find in the scrap for our yard because they are always being lost.

    Just take apart an old hard drive and you'll have 2 of the strongest magnets made.

    I'm finding the hard drive magnets too strong for daily use - yes, they DO bite! I haven't decided yet what uses I'll have for them. I want a microwave magnet to play with next.

    Grab a old speaker, break the circle magnet off, attach on key ring. Strong enough when you need but not strong enough to keep you stuck to everything.

    Works for me. I leave the hd magnets in the shop, in the van, an in the toolbox. Mainly for one I leave my keys somewhere. lol. Lest I always got a magnet.
