Magnet strong magnets 3 3/4" satisfaction guaranteed
This is a surplus magnet, but it has never been used.
Approximate size is 3 3/4" diameter.
The magnet itself is approximately 3/4" thick.
There is a shiny metal plate on each side of the magnet that makes the unit approximately 1 3/16" thick.
This magnet makes a good fishing magnet. We call it a fishing magnet, because you can go down to Lowe's and purchase a cable to put thru the eye in the backing plate, and also purchase the crimping hardware to make it good and secure. Makes a neat unit.
The backing plate has three eyes that can be used to put a cable thru.
Please do not cut, drill or grind on the magnet.
You can go fishing with this powerful magnet. You may not catch a whole lot of bass, but if you drag your magnet behind your boat, you may find a gun, a knife, and no telling how many fishing lures.
The backing plate weight is quite heavy. The unit, magnet and backing plate weigh 2 1/2 lbs.
The backing plate is plated and is shiny as a new dollar.
I would even say that this magnet could be called pretty.
The backing plate almost encases the complete magnet, so this magnet is unlikely to ever break.
If you hang some of these on the front of your lawnmower, you will find most of the nails, screws, pieces of wire or other iron that has been thrown or dropped into your yard
If you roof your house or you have someone roof your house, there will be rusty nails, and probably some shiny new ones also dropped in your yard.
Magnets hanging on the front of your mower may solve that.
I use magnets in my shop. I put one on top of my drill press, so I can just pitch my chuck key in the general direction of the magnet and it will be there the next time I need it.
I also put some drill bits that I frequently use on this same magnet. That way they are always in sight. I do not have to go digging and hunting for a drill bit.
I put magnets on some of the rafters and studs in my shop, and I hang special tools on them.
Many mechanics and tool repairmen keep a magnet on their workbench to keep parts from being lost from their bench. You can put your parts in a bowl or a bucket, but the bowl or bucket will probably get turned over and the parts will scatter.
Use a magnet and this will not happen.
Find studs in your house with a magnet.
Some, that I know down around Aransas Pass go out to the fishing piers every morning and fish around with their magnet.
They know that there are fishermen on the piers all night long, fishing, drinking beer and horse playing. Sometimes more beer drinking and horse playing than fishing.
The boys with the magnets sometimes come up with a fresh rod and reel. One that was dropped into the water the night before.
