DIYMAGStrong Neodymium Fishing Magnets, 300 lbs(136 KG) Pulling Force Rare Earth Magnet with Countersunk Hole Eyebolt Diameter 1.98 inch(50 mm) for Retrieving in River and Magnetic Fishing

I pared this magnet with the rope in last picture (sold separately). Worked very well together and was the right strength pared with this strong magnet. Worked well to slide items off vs trying to pull straight away which is what you want. I do recommend this product, have fun

This magnet sticks to metal like crazy,

I had low expectations for this magnet, but it seems to work. I can’t speak for lifting 700lbs, but i tested it on a 60lb kettlebell and the magnet held it without any problems. I actually had to attach a rope to it to even slide it off. One thing to note though - the attracted metal must be sufficiently magnetic and thick enough for the magnet to pull with full force. I stuck this magnet on my fridge and it came off just as easily as a regular fridge magnet - the steel is too thin for the full force of the magnetic field. But on a thicker gauge workbench it needed both hands to pry off. So, keep that in mind. For my purposes of picking up loose metal pieces around the shop, it’s perfectly sufficient.

After several months of use, my experience with the DIYMAG Strong Neodymium Fishing Magnet has been a journey of highs and lows. Marketed for its impressive 700 lbs pulling strength and versatile applications, this magnet promised to be a game-changer for my outdoor adventures and miscellaneous retrieval needs. However, the reality was a mix of exceptional moments tempered by notable drawbacks.Performance and Quality:While formidable, the magnet's pulling power did not consistently meet the lofty expectations set by its specifications. Its strength is undeniable in ideal conditions, showcasing the potential to retrieve various metal objects from rivers and lakes. The quality of the magnet itself, encased in a durable steel cup and coated with a triple layer of Ni+Cu+Ni, speaks to a thoughtful design aimed at longevity and rust resistance. This protective measure ensures that the magnet's core strength remains unaffected by external conditions, a testament to its high-quality manufacturing standards.Versatility and Use:True to its description, the magnet's design, featuring a countersunk hole and eyebolt, lends itself well to various activities. Its utility is broad, from magnet fishing to retrieving lost items and even some unconventional uses like cleaning up yards from metallic debris. However, the practicality of these uses is hampered by the magnet's actual pulling capacity, which, while strong, may not always reach the heights advertised.Safety and Durability Concerns:A significant concern arose from the attachment mechanism. The eyebolt, crucial for securing the magnet to a rope or line, proved to be a weak link. During a routine throw into a lake, the magnet detached from the rope, leading to a frustrating and time-consuming retrieval effort. This incident highlights a critical flaw in the product's design or assembly process, emphasizing the need for users to secure and double-check all connections before use.Misleading Claims?Feedback from various users, including my experience, suggests that the advertised pulling strength may be optimistic. While the magnet performs admirably in many scenarios, expecting it to lift objects near the 700 lbs mark without direct contact and under ideal conditions might lead to disappointment. Potential buyers must temper their expectations and consider the magnet's capabilities within practical, everyday use.Conclusion:The DIYMAG Strong Neodymium Fishing Magnet stands as a tool of considerable potential, marred by some inconsistencies in performance and reliability. Its construction and protective coating are highlights, ensuring the magnet remains a long-term investment for enthusiasts. However, the issues with the attachment mechanism and the somewhat overstated pulling strength are drawbacks that cannot be overlooked.This product offers a solid foundation for those intrigued by the prospect of magnet fishing or needing a strong magnet for various retrieval tasks. Yet, it's advisable to proceed cautiously, reinforce the attachment points, and manage expectations regarding its pulling power.

Tested on a flat steel anvil, so that the seller can't say that I did not test correctly. This thing requires a 40-pound pull to release. <Grossly Misrepresented.Can you imagine if the listing was actually true? Do you think you could pull 300Lb to release the magnet. No, no you could not. Maybe in your dreams.So the reality is that this magnet is useful for things like attaching to your car oil filter to pick up micro metals. And other light holding or lifting work. You will not be throwing this thing into the water, and pulling up an engine block.Most importantly, YOU MUST LOCKTITE the SS bolt eye on. It will come lose otherwise and you will lose the magnet. I will 100% guarantee you will, even if it appears tight when you get it. Heed the warning!Have fun with the magnet~!

I would recommend this if you need a magnet for any sort of reason. It’s pretty strong for not physically being too big!

Got this magnet for magnet fishing and it worked great. Only downside of it was that it untwisted and I lost the magnet piece after a few uses. So be sure to check tightness or lock tight the threads. Otherwise no complaints

I knocked a large metal ramp off of my boat dock. I tried a grappling hook, but no luck. I ordered this magnet with low expectations. I tested it on a 25 lb vice stitting on my garage floor and it picked it up with no problem. Getting it off the vice was another matter. I took others advice and used thread locker on the ring. I eventually was able to to grap the ramp in 10 ft of water and and pull it in. Well worth the price.

Stuck it to an anvil and had to grab a pipe to get it off definitely couldn't get it off with bare hands

funcional , buen producto

The magnet doesn't even match up to my magnet 1/10 of it's size. Very lousy

Great

I used this magnet to pick up nails and screws that were laying in my grass after completing my renovation, and it worked great !!!
