Since being a kid, I've always had a fascination with magnets :)

This Christmas I was given 216 N42 magnetic balls - great fun to play with.

This evening I found this magnet available on Amazon

It's N52 Neodymium, apparently the strongest magnetic material available. This magnet measure 5cms x 5cms x 2.5cms and has the ability to hold 118Kgs of weight!!!

This is a warning that comes with it!
EXTREME POWER WARNING! - These magnets are dangerous! If your fingers are
trapped between two of these magnets, they will be crushed! Pl
ease note that
they should only be handled and used after a thorough risk assessment has been
undertaken.

Geeky or what :)

Not geeky at all John as in a lot of cases whatever interests you & rocks your boat then just do it is what I say.

Always remember years ago that an old friend put a strong magnet in his jacket pocket & then realised later he had some floppy disks in the same pocket. He didn't find much on the disks when he tried them.........lol.

If you're keen on magnets then this sublimatable magnet puzzle should keep you amused. It's supposed to be difficult to place all the magnetic marbles into the holes.
I'm surprised that no UK supplier stocks these.

I'm loving the look of that game. Would love to be able to stock those as would make great stocking fillers.
