Review of Norpro 12 Inch Aluminum Knife Bar

I trimmed my set to fit in a small(er) cabinet, and used a hack saw for the rough cut, and smoothed it down with a bench grinder. So, it's adjustable from that perspective.

The magnets are nice and strong, and are able to hold a good-sized cleaver easily.

Good value for the price.

Review of 50 Round Disk Magnets Crafts Home Office Part 3/4"

If magnets in general is what you are looking for, these are the ones.
If you, like me, are looking for the specific shape of magnet pictured, better speak to the seller first.
I received magnets without a hole, which were unusable for the purpose I wanted them for.
However, the seller was extremely helpful, after I mentioned my problem, and found some for me, that had the right shape after all.

Review of Stainless Steel Magnetic Knife Rack

I bought this product with the intent to hang vertically.Unfortunately the magnet is not strong enough to hold ALL of my knives in this position, some knives did well, others drooped.When I changed the mount to the horizontal position it worked perfectly as gravity wasn't as much an issue.Very easy to mount and no frills.Good product and worth the money.

Review of With Love to Grandma crayola Photo Magnet Frame

Even though this item is inexpensive. You will just end up throwing it in the trash when you get it. It's basically a flimsy piece of flexible magnet with a hole cut out in it.

Review of 10 Neodymium Magnets 1/2 inch Cube N48

These are the strongest magnets I have found of their type.They work very well to hold up heavy items on "magnetic painted" walls, which require a lot of power.
My only complaint is that they are very brittle and chip if allowed to snap together quickly. This is probably a feature of the material and not the vendor.
Also, keep them away from the little ones, they can hurt quite a bit if they pinch you and really should not be eaten.

Review of Philosophers Guild Obamarama

I bought this as a joke for my husband, who has a major man-crush on the new prez....but I think I have way more fun dressing up Obama than the minor laugh he had opening the box.

My favorite combination so far is the "hope" bling with the super hero lucha mask and the surf shorts. He's leading the country in style, and trying to encourage the produce to march to freedom in his spare time.

My only issue is that while the magnets are strong enough to stick the prez and all of his accoutrements to the fridge, they don't layer well (typical property of magnets placed on top of one another). We've had several bits fall off and end up under the stove (aka The Land that Time Forgot). Bummer.

Danny here from Purple Martin Propagators in Austin, TX (512) 825-4712 [..]. I've installed over 1200 Supergourd Purple Martin Housing Systems in the last 3 years and have found that using the SongBird Magnet speeds up the colonization process dramatically. There were even some installations where, after plugging in the Magnet, Purple Martins started flying in from out of nowhere and immediately landed on the Martin Housing System. The unit's sound quality is superb and it being totally automatic is a bonus.

Review of Bodum Chef Extra Strong Knife Magnet

If you read the reviews, you'll notice that most people (or maybe no one) paid $70 for this magnet. I wouldn't even consider it at that price. But for less than $10, it's a great deal, and solves a big problem. That is having sharp knives in a drawer ready to cut you, or getting dull rubbing each other.

The magnet is strong enough to support large knives. It looks good. And mounts relatively easily with the 2 included screws.

Free shipping from Amazon clinches the deal. If you don't have one, the next time the discount comes along, grab one. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Review of Magcraft NSN0911 1/2-Inch by 1/2-Inch by 1/8-Inch Rare Earth Block Magnets, 10-Count

All of these Magcraft magnets deserve a 5 star rating for their strength and variations in design. Apart from that, be forewarned! These magnets are so strong they may cause some mischief. They are definitely not safe for small children. For example, I put one on the refrigerator but it was too strong to pull off. I had to slide the magnet over to the edge of the door to peel it off. But the magnet snapped around the corner and pinched my finger creating a blood blister. Also, contrary to the episode of Myth Busters, these magnets are in fact strong enough to de-magnetize the magnetic strip on your ATM card. I know this for certain because I unwittingly carried one of the larger magnets around in the same pocket where I keep my wallet. The next time I went to the store my ATM card would not work. So I tried my Visa card. It wouldn't work either. So these magnets are great, but use with caution!

Review of OXO SteeL Magnetic All-Purpose Clips, 4 Pack

This clip had a strong magnet, good gripping surface and solid construction.They should last a long time without breaking.They are a bit pricy though.

The description says that the clips can stand upright on a flat surface to hold photos or place cards for display.However, they are not flat enough on the back edge to hold a photo or card upright without tipping to the side unless it is perfectly centered and balanced.With these, you would need two clips per photo/card.If you want something for this purpose, go with the plastic OXO mini clips 8 pack.Those are significantly smaller (and cheaper) and have a flatter back edge that lets them easily hold a photo or place card upright.

Review of Magnutz 6 Magnet Multi-Color Set

No doubt that the magnet part is great - super strong with lots of holding power.However, in the two sets that I bought, most (10 of the 12 total) have fallen apart in that the magnet slips out of the plastic holder.This most commonly happens when taking something down, you pull the plastic piece and the magnet stays behind.On close inspection, I notice small cracks radiating from the recession that holds the magnet.It appears that "Magnutz" expects the items to hold together with a friction-fit; probably an OK assumption as long as the plastic cover is not cracked.If you are willing to epoxy the magnets back in, they are great, and hold together perfectly.Having said all this, I would buy these again, knowing that I would probably have to re-seat all the magnets.

Review of InterDesign 255 00 Clean & Dirty Dishwasher Indicator

We have had one of these for at least 4 years. It has worked great for us.And the price was reasonable.

In the past, we had a magnetic one. After moving to a different house, we discovered that the magnetic one would not work on the dishwasher in this house, because the door and the rest of the dishwasher front has very little steel or other metal, to which a magnet could cling. Some kind of plastic laminate I guess. Our old magnetic sign-flag-indicator thing-ee just fell on the floor.

So we bought this one, because it does not depend on a magnet. I was leery at first, worrying that the suction cup would fail quickly. The suction cup on this product has clung to the dishwasher door for 4 years. The door is opened and closed daily, yet it has never fallen off.

However, this may not be a good choice for some dishwashers:

(1) if the dishwasher door does not have a smooth surface -- some type of textured or bumpy surface -- the suction cup may not cling properly.

(2) if the dishwasher door is BLACK, this item will be very hard to see. The colors of this item are NOT the black and white, which you might guess from the photo.There is no white area on this; the actual colors are black and CLEAR plastic.The word "DIRTY" is in clear plastic surrounded by black; and the word "CLEAN" is black surrounded by clear plastic.When placed against a BLACK dishwasher door, the clear plastic areas will just look black, such that the entire thing will look like a round black button.

For our dishwasher, it has been fine.The wheel does not seem to spin around when the door is opened or closed on ours, but if it did it would be no problem to reset it.

Review of OXO Good Grips Silicone Oven Mitt with Magnet

This is a hard review. The primary PLUS I suppose is that this item is WONDERFUL for STOPPING HEAT ... and I assume that is the primary reason you buy this.. it is essentially impervious to any heat that you'd normally encounter.. also its nicely lined with a soft and comfortable material, and reaches well up your arm to protect that as well.. how many times have you burned your wrist on the rack or oven side while reaching for a hot item? However it does have it's problems!!

1. The most critical thing is the poor "flex pattern" which makes picking up items and gripping them very awkward. In the least case, I'd order TWO of these if you feel this is the glove you want.. this is so you can use both hands to grip anything you want to pick up.. this is the only way you'll really get much of a grip and be confident that you can move hot items safely to where you're going.

2. This fits poorly. I have largish hands I guess but many men especially will have even larger hands.. the fingers are more than adequate.. they in fact are too long.. 1.5" longer than my fingers.. but it also is very tight around my knuckles (where the fingers join your hand) and even tighter if you try to "grip" something. Though this makes it slightly uncomfortable, the main reason I mention it is that I worry that this MAY eventually pull the seam out..

3. Of lesser issue, but still to be considered is that the material, though tough and rubbery, CAN BE TORN on any jab by a sharp or pointed surface.. and of course once this is done, the glove is pretty much not going to serve it's purpose anymore.

I've looked at other gloves and most have similar or worse problems. I guess we're still just up in the air until someone comes up with the truly functional item.

To clean just wipe the Pot Holder with a damp sponge, or wash and dry in the laundry machine.

Review of Fox Run Retro Kitchen Timer with Magnet, Ivory

AT LAST I have found a timer that works!This one is small, very attractive and sticks to my stove hood where it is handy to use.I don't even have to remove it from the hood to set it. It keeps time accurately and has a LOUD ring which I can hear in the living room.I had to return another timer that didn't work properly but I'll be keeping this one!

Review of Magcraft NSN0575 3/8-Inch by 1/4-Inch Rare Earth Disc Magnets, 12-Count

I am using this to make a small scaled test generator for a wind turbine.I used 28 gage wire in tiny loops of 100 coils about 1.5" across.I used a CD and hot glued 12 of these in 2 phases of 6 coils each.I placed 12 magnets with alterning polarity around a second CD.I added a shaft and placed the magnets about 1mm from the coils.I used a 2.8v dual LED that generates a green/red light for +/-.Since this is a generator it will generate A/C power.I did not have extra diodes to tie the two phases together so I have a seperate LED for each phase.Spinning by hand I can get both to light , but using a drill they get pretty bright.I figure when I get the two poles tied together I will have about 6v at probably .5A.This is no where need, so I ordered much bigger magnets... 1"x3/8" with a 34 pound pull (over 4x larger than these) and will likely double the number and size of the coils.I am hoping for 24v at maybe 5-10 amps in a good wind.To keep from overheating the coils I will likely make it 4-6 phases.

Review of Waste Maid MSM-30 Mr. Scrappy Disposer Magnet

While this magnet is easy to install, we find that it does not catch our mostly-stainless steel silverware (which our more powerful fridge magnets can indeed hold).This item has saved a few smaller items from the jaws of the disposal.The included beer cap to demonstrate the magnetic ability was a humorous touch. I bought this as a splurge when I bought the garbage disposal and have found this item just okay.

Review of Service Star magnet

We have a son serving in Iraq and we like the WWI service flags. One blue star is for one family member serving in a war zone. Two stars for two family members, etc.. (The gold star signifies a fimily who has lost a service member in combat.) At first I thought the magnet wasn't very strong but they have held up very well on our cars in adverse weather. The colors remain fresh too.

Review of Victor Poison-Free M530 Fly Magnet Disposable Fly Trap

This really works. We were overcome with the little black deer flies that bite! We put up two of these fly traps and, within a week, most of the flies had been caught or disappeared allowing us to enjoy our garden. However, after a short amount of time these traps stink. But, that is the lure that attracts the flies. So it's best not to put them too close to a sitting area. You'll be amazed at how many flies are trapped. And, it has no effect on bees or other beneficial insects.

Review of iPop MOE3 Horses 4 Pack Clicks Magnet Set

Being a horse lover, I thought it was a cute idea for a present. I've ordered a few sets for Christmas presents and was very disappointed when I got the magnets. They are very small and look very cheap. They are all scratched, you can see pieces of glue that are holding them together. Unfortunatelly, I don't feel comfortable giving them away as gifts and will have to look for something else for my friends. Very badly made!!!

Review of Tovolo Red Splash Bottle Opener

Yes, this is magnetic so it can be available on the fridge, and yes, it has a magnet to catch caps once they're removed. However...the magnets that hold it on the fridge are NOT strong enough to hold the opener in place while you apply the torque to open a bottle. You will need to hold it with one hand while you hold the bottle with the other.

This obviously isn't the end of the world, but I'm definitely disappointed. I have used a similar opener at a friend's house that has no trouble staying in place. I would recommend just spending $3.99 on something like this Magnetic Bottle and Can Opener and calling it good.

Review of Mosquito Magnet Liberty Mosquito Trap MM3000

I purchased this unit in June from Home Depot. It took 2 hours to assemble (and I'm pretty good at assembling things). It wouldn't complete the warmup cycle properly so I called their tech support line. The wait wasn't too bad for me but the result was that I had a defective unit. I opted to return it to the store rather than wait for the replacement. I complained to the manager about having wasted two hours and another trip to the store and he knocked off $25 bucks on the second unit. I complained because I had read several reviews from people that have received defective units and I think the dealers need to get a message that customers are not happy with quality of the merchandise from this company. Anyway, second unit has been working fine. It did start catching mosquito right away and I noticed a difference within a few days. It's quite fun to check the trap each day to see how many of the little blood suckers are in there. It is hard to get an accurate estimate because the do bunch up and dehydrate but you can see several still buzzing around inside the net and you can point at them and say - HA! For me, the results are proven by less mosquitoes biting or flying around me so I don't worry about counting. My other complaint about this thing is cost. You're dropping a pretty penny for this unit and then don't forget to add on the cost of the tank and the propane - another $40-$50. The propane lasts for 21 days and then you have to refill the tank. You are also suppose to replace the octenol cartridge which run you $20 for 3 (that's less than a three month supply), plus they tell you to buy CO2 cartridges (3 for $10) and run that through the system every second tank. So, doing the math, say a tank refill every 21 days runs you $15 (and that's cheap right now), $7 every 21 days for octenol, $1.50 for CO2, plus electricity - you're looking at upwards of $25 every 21 days in extra hard costs to keep the thing running. That's $35-$40 a month if you like to break it down that way. With that said, if that doesn't scare you off then give the unit a shot. It does make a difference. I won't say there are no more mosquitoes or no-see-ums but I can regularly go out in the yard for a few minutes and come back inside without any bites when before that would not have been possible. It's just hard for me to believe this company charges so much for this thing and then half of them don't work. That aggravates me, but mosquitoes biting my son aggravates me more.

Review of Fox Run Retro Kitchen Timer with Magnet, Mint Green

When I ordered this timer, it was initially back ordered.I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived within just a few days.

It works perfectly by keeping extrememly accurate time.It passed the cookie baking test with flying colors. The magnetic backing is perfect for sticking to any surface at any angle.

The ad for this timer isn't specific and pictures it in a way that implies it is much larger than it actually is. Be aware that it is small, which works for my tiny workspace.

Overall, I am very pleased with my cute little retro timer!

Review of "Applied Magnets" - 4 pieces of 1" X 1" x 1/2" Super Strong Rare Earth Neodymium Block Magnets

These 4 magnets are so powerful I don't feel comfortable having them in the same room as any electronics!

These are unbelievably strong.

I accidentally took the white separator blocks that these shipped with in between them and go two of them stuck together with nothing in between them...
I had to use 2 pieces of wood and all my body weight to slide them apart...

These are not kids toys! They could easily break a finger if you were to catch your finger in them as they come together.

WOW!

I've never seen any magnet this strong.

Very fun!

Review of Umbra Cling Set of 10 Magnetic Frames

Not very good--the frames look ok, which is why I got them but actually you have to cut down your pictures a little, even if the size is the same as the frame, because of the border. Also not very magnetic, many were constantly falling off my fridge, some never even stuck to the fridge, and none could hold anything up but themselves. I would go for some sturdier ones that had a stronger magnet even if they don't look as nice.

These clips have a nice look and seem well-made. It may be difficult to tell from the photos just how "mini" they are. If you plan on using them to hold photos to the refrigerator, you'll be fine.
