magnet strength? ours seem very weak

I'm still very happy with my purchase. They snap back with a click every time. I did have to adjust them so they lined up perfectly. I hope my answer helps.

I have found this to be nearly useless. Not enough magnets, hard to fit, a pain to install. Had I known what it was like before we purchased it, I never would have bought it.

The magnet strength was not the problem for me. Granted it could have been stronger too, but the problem I had was the magnets falling off after only 2 months! Yeah, little by little they started falling off and the dogs would try to eat them. It was a disaster! I would not recommend this product to anyone! It worked well for a few months and it was easy to install, but it just fell apart after minimal use and time. There are better products with stronger magnets sewn right into the mesh and that's what I bought and am using.

Magnets are very weak. I found this product to be a waste of money. It finally found a home in my trash can.

I'm pretty sure the strip is aluminum, so if it is, magnets will not stick. I'll check mine to see tomorrow.

I'm not sure what magnet you are talking about - I don't think there's a magnet on this.

These are pretty powerful magnets.. The magnets are at my grandson's house and I could go over tomorrow and check it out for you...

Rare earth magnets MAY work. I never had any luck, though, I think my can was old and no amount of stirring helped. I went with a piece of sheet metal instead.

Has the magnet strength changed? I see older reviews saying they're strong where newer reviews say the magnet is weak and won't pick up the fish.

I don't think this is a very good product, mine turned out not to be not magnetic at all. Good luck.

You will be surprised how strong that magnet is, and it's certainly strong enough to cause problems with hard drives , data, the screen etc. As a test of how far to place the magnet, set it on a table and see how far/close something steel needs to be to cause it to move or attract , then add some extra distance.

Regular run of the mill refrigerator magnets arent strong enough to trigger the mechanism.

Maybe, the magnet is about as strong as a cheap fridge magnet. I would test one of those first to see if it stuck.

They are very lightweight since they are small boards. Magnets should definitely be able to hold them up. The most powerful magnet that holds up my tagboards (which are posterboard size) can be purchased at Daiso for $1.50 each.

I think they will be strong enough. I am using ceramic pieces glued to some of them and they are holding strong. I mostly am crocheting little miniature hats and dresses for them, but having no trouble with the heavier ceramic pieces. They are holding stronger than any magnets I have ever used. Hope this helps.

Sure - but you have to know where the weak link is. In some cases the magnet to metal connection may be stronger than the glued connection so when you try to pull things apart the glue connection will "fail", i.e. separate, instead of the magnet separating from the metal.

If you don't care how it looks any magnet like the small refrigerator magnets will work. It just has to be strong enough to close the switch on the main unit. One suggestion is to make sure the magnet is polarized to close and not keep the switch open which you wil know immediately. That thing is loud!

Unless you need thick, strong magnets, I'd suggest you look elsewhere. If you are creating the tiles for a child to manipulate, I'd look for a weaker magnet. I've recently seen some approx the same size at a common arts/craft store. Also, the yellow you see in this pic is actually a small foam layer for the adhesive side; that was NOT in the description when I purchased the magnets. It caused the magnets to be unusable for my purpose.

The magnets on the case are not as strong as they should be. My case fell off a vehicle, broke apart from being run over, as well as the device inside.

The magnets are not strong enough, I should have returned the item. .....8 inches
