1) Submitted by Spirit Homes LLC, from Stillwater, NJ on 10/11/2009 Customer Rating: Now, THESE are cool products. Very powerful little magnets that were just what I needed to finish off a hinged drawer front for a computer tray project. No ugly latches needed after I installed these little beauties!

2) Submitted by Tony T, from Rock Hill, SC on 9/8/2009 Customer Rating: These magnets STICK.

3) Submitted by Jerry, from Hartsville, SC on 8/24/2009 Customer Rating: Great magnets, especially as door catches.

4) Submitted by James Massengill, from Crossville, TN on 8/17/2009 Customer Rating: Like several of the other users I use the magnets as door catches. They work great as an invisible catch when secured under a thin cloth or wood veneer.

5) Submitted by Steve Ludwik, from kennesaw, GA on 8/14/2009 Customer Rating: I built this train set for my sons second birthday. I used the magnets on one end of the hitch and a screw and washer on the other end. They are plenty strong to hold all the cars together but they also pull apart easily enough for him. For the builders out there, I user 1/2" MDF for the wheels using a keyhole saw on my drill press, 1/4" dowel for the axels, and 1/2" birch plywood for the bodies. I used a 1 1/4" brad nailer and glue to keep the pieces together. I cleaned up the edges with sheetrock mud, put on two coats of primer, two coats of final spray paint (left over cans from other projects) and then two coats of high gloss poly. I bought only the magnets, screws for the hitches and the dowel. The rest of the train was built from scraps. Total cost was $15.00 He plays with it constantly and loves how the hitches grab.

6) Submitted by Gary A. Ledbetter, from Marysville, CA on 6/5/2009 Customer Rating: I used rare earth magnets as concealed magnetic latches for plantation shutter doors, the holding power is better then off the shelf magnetic latches.

7) Submitted by PAUL NEILAN, from WATERFORD, CT. on 6/4/2009 Customer Rating: I have used these to mount painted metal trays on the wall. But the best use is as a stud finder. I can find the nail/screw heads rapidly and know where the studs are; if needed I place multiple magnets on multiple studs for longer projects.
