Ndfeb magnets, 1" diameter x 3/16" thick
NdFeB Magnets, 1" diameter X 3/16" thick
Pictured above is a single magnet
These 1" diameter X 3/16" thick disks are brand new, Licensed NdFeB, Grade 35 material. They come Nickel plated to help prevent chipping and corrosion. Actual field density measured at the surface of one of these magnets is around 2500 Gauss. Br Max (the maximum field density which can be generated by this material) is 12,100 Gauss (this is considered to be the "Gauss Rating"). An amazingly strong and very practical NdFeB disc magnet. Thousands of uses! Use caution; these are not for kids.

These magnets have nearly unlimited applications! Due to their size and dimensions, they are ideal for pressing into holes, for use in knife, tool holders, holding doors closed etc. About 4 of these inserted, glued into a wooden block make a fine featherboard for use on table/band saws. They can serve as an extra set of hands while holding tools. I've used them to hold headliners up on old cars! Although larger NdFeB magnets can get dangerous, these are small enough to be considered "mostly harmless" - and are perfectly safe on the fridge, in the kitchen, around the shop, etc. These are ideal for the education, kids can handle them fairly safely - although we suggest that, especially young kids, always handle magnets under supervision! Although these are hard enough to pinch pretty hard, one should not expect any serious injury. It should be noted, that a large stack of these becomes a "large magnet" and at that point, the risks of getting pinched, or damaging electronics are greater. These magnets are strong enough, that once stuck to the fridge, you'll have some difficulty removing them! (you'll need to slide them to the edge & might scratch the paint... so be careful!
Many folks believe that magnetic therapy has some value in reducing pain, and healing the body. Although we don't promote this, and feel that it remains an issue of controversy, these particular magnets are often sold for this application. You will find companies who deal in magnetic therapy selling this same product for 10 to 20 times this price! We'd suggest, that if magnetic therapy interests you, do your own research - come to your own conclusions. If it is something you care to experiment with, these magnets could save you lots of $$!

All magnets have certain risks and dangers associated with them. These NdFeB magnets are much stronger than magnets most folks are used to, so even a seemingly small magnet could be full of surprises!
Pinch Hazard: Larger magnets (NdFeB magnets larger than a quarter) are strong enough to pinch fairly hard should one get his/her fingers in between two of them, or between steel/iron and a magnet .
They're Brittle!: These magnets are brittle. Should two magnets snap together hard, or snap onto a ferrous surface, they could break or chip. This is really more of an issue with some of our larger magnets, these small ones are fairly tough, and although I have seen them break/chip on occasion, there is little risk of this.
Electronics and magnetic storage medium: Magnetic fields can temporarily, or permanent damage certain electronic devices and magnetic storage medium. Keep them away from computers, computer monitors, cassette tapes, floppy disks, etc. With these smaller magnets, you should be safe if you keep them at least 3" away. But again, if you have a large stack - a little extra care and distance would be appropriate.
Like any other potentially dangerous item or substance, these magnets are perfectly safe when treated with care and stored properly. Treat them with the same respect you would power tools, knives, ammunition, etc. Your magnets (unless they're small refrigerator magnets) should be kept in a safe place away from electronics and out of the reach of children. Properly stored and carefully handled, these magnets are perfectly safe and should last a lifetime!
