the power of power magnets
on February 4, 2015
Posted by: Paula K.
I found these magnets while shopping on staples.com and was drawn to them by the beautiful colors so I had to order them. They were shipped very quickly and I was not been disappointed. They are indeed very pretty colors. The value is also very good. Plus I like the way they feel in my fingers and they are easy to grasp. I am a fan of staples and plan to "like" it on Facebook. I would definitely recommend these magnets to anyone looking to rev up his/her magnetic board whether in the office a home office family room or kitchen. I will probably buy more of these magnets.
I have a love-hate relationship with magnets that are sold for use on magnetic boards. I love the fact that I can post anything without putting any unsightly holes in it but I hate the fact that most of these magnets just don't have a lot of strength. I also don't like magnets that are so large they obscure what's underneath them. What I need is a magnet that is strong enough to hold more than one paper at a time small enough to allow me to see what it is holding up and easy to grab and remove. These magnets are conveniently sized and shaped like a push pin and have just the right amount of magnetic strength to hold up a couple of sheets of paper or a business card. They work for me.
Wow! Had never heard of these magnets before. They look just like push pins and are the BEST things to attach pictures to the refridgerator. Don't take up much space. Neat item to have. Something you didn't know you needed until you try them. All those school papers now will be neat. Remember to keep them above little ones reach as with any small items.
I'm looking at one of these magnets as I type. The magnet is securely holding up a wad of a dozen cash register receipts. I chose the design because of its inherent appeal and because it has a very small "footprint." The price is quite good too. I found cheaper magnets at craft stores and hardware stores but they were small plain disks. I plan to use these fake pushpins in an exhibit booth so I wanted something with more appeal. My only "con" would be that I would rather not buy an assortment of colors. I'd like to be able to buy packs of all one color.
These Staples Power Magnets are excellent to use wherever metal surfaces are. They are compact like push-pins but surprisingly strong in terms of magnetic power. One will hold 3 sheets of standard size paper well on a vertical wall. They are small enough to leave on the refrigerator without making the surface look cluttered like some other magnets will. And if one should fall off there is no danger of damaging the floor tiles like some larger magnets. They come in five different colors and are pretty fairly priced.
