Worst magnets I have ever used
on April 24, 2014
Posted by: Paula K.
I tried these magnets because they were cheap and all I wanted them for was to hold message slips and single page memos on the side of a filing cabinet rarely a two page memo. They will hold a message slip barely. If you have more than one thickness of paper you might as well forget it. The smallest actually work the best the larger magnets seem to have too much plastic for the magnet. I am not sure how other buyers have been able to make these work. I can't use them for anything. You would be much better off getting the magnets that look like push pins. I have had much better luck with those.
My package of magnets are more pastels than the primary-ish colors in the picture. They were only a dollar or two and I use them on the giant whiteboard (I also bought at Staples) in my kitchen to hold coupons tickets and other random bits of paper I find important at the moment. Buy this product. Please. Magnets are awesome and these magnets are strong fun colors and really useful. I like getting the extra points so I am going to ramble up to four hundred characters and get those vital twenty points for heaven only knows what. Thank you and have a great day.
I bought these to use in my classroom. The variety of sizes and colors is great and they are strong enough to hold a number of papers to the board at once. There was one magnet that does not work it just isn't magnetic - pretty odd.
The colors are fun. The assortment of sizes is great. One of the magnets was set too far into the plastic and wouldn't stick to metal very well. But plenty still left in the container.
Loved these. The small ones did not work unless it was really think paper. But the others worked great. Could use a little bit stronger magnet but except for the small ones they worked well.
I decided I wanted to color coordinate pages of things about clients / professional activities on my file cabinets in my office. I have only been using these magnets for a short time and they are holding well and I can see at a glance by color what I am looking for which is helpful. Size really hasn't made a difference so far only color. Would I purchase them again? Yes beacuse they are serving the purpose for which I bought them and I may use them for other things that will be helpful in my daily work. So far so good!
My wife bought these so she can hang the our children's school projects on a magnetic white board made by "Board Dudes." We also got the board at Staples. I was surprised that this little tub has so many magnets and there were different sizes. It made it easy to hang different sized projects on the board. This was a great value.
