One of our cats was pulling sharp pushpins off the corkboard over our desk so we inserted a sheet of metal inside the frame over the cork. These magnets looked nice and worked well holding thick paper and business cards. But she could pull these off too (she is not sticking to our appliances so probably didn't swallow any)! We switched to flat round ones also from Staples and which also work well. The flat black magnets are not as pretty but she can't get them off. It entertains her to try though!
These magnets are easy to grab and hold when I place them and when I have to move them. They stay where they are placed and do not slide. They are definately strong enough for each place I have used them - refrigerator back door displays and magnets boards. They do not distract from the items they hold. My second set.
These were a great find. I'm using them as recommended from a fellow blogger to make a fishing game for a Dr. Seuss themed birthday party. They work well and are reasonably priced especially since I got them on sale and with FREE shipping from Staples. I just wish there were a few more per packet although I had enough for my project.
Excellent design and function. I originally purchased 2 packages of these. I showed them to my mother who has arthritis. She found them so much easier to use than flat magnets that she then purchased 4 packages. My daughter who is 21 has a disability that includes fine motor skills. I took some to her home and again she also loved them. She purchased several packages for use on her refigerator and her white board with a magnetic strip on it. I plan on purchasing more. It would be wonderful if they also came in a larger size.
Over my workbench I've nailed a steel measuring tape for quick reference. I found out that using these little magnets allows me to pin up notes and sketches while I'm working. They're a great help.
