Are there nickel in these magnets?

The only way I can answer this question is to say, that rare earth magnets are made from either samarium-cobalt or neodymium iron boron. If our concern is stems from an allergy or cancer treatment. Remember that these have been coated with gold which dose help with those two conditions. However I do not know if the gold was treated with nickel. I have had no rash myself and my skin dose not like nickel. I have learned from other over the last 28 years of using magnets that you can put a piece of paper tape on your skin then place a magnet over it. They still work this way.

Not sure-they are gold plated. I haven't had any allergies-these are my favorite of all the ones I have ordered. I wear two on my foot near the large toe joint to reduce a bone spur in the joint. One year ago I was scheduled for surgery for removal of the bone spur-6 week recovery-but tried the magnets at the suggestion of my massage therapist-wow, within days the pain was greatly reduced and now I am wearing shoes I could not wear before as bone spur is almost gone. My skin is sensitive to nickel-earrings and rings but I have experience no contact allergy with these magnets.

There is i would say but don't know it's got 24 k gold on it so can't see if it does

I don't no but they are very nice and strong I just use a bandaid and use them everywhere I love them

I honestly don't know as this is not something that concerned me. I did not look at the directions for content. I do know that they stick longer than the original magna dots & "THEY WORK."

Don't think so.....I am alergic to nickel and they have not caused me any problem.

I assumed they were stainless steel, but I'm no expert in metals. It could be aluminum. Sorry I couldn't be of more help!

No, there is no magnet. The bits are held in with recessed balls with a spring, which holds the bits in strongly, but does not help with screws. The bits are well machined, however, so I find most screws (like computer rack screws) will sit well on the bit up to almost completely horizontal.

sure but they are weak as magnets... very weak! check out earth magnets, very powerful !

They are not. But you could magnetize them very easily by rubbing a magnet in one direction along their length. About ten passes should do it.

Good idea. Never thought of that, very nifty idea. YES they are magnetic. Had to test it since you asked. :)

they are not stainless steel, a magnet sticks to the metal. Probably chrome plated steel. Easily replaceable with stainless. Otherwise well made.

Not sure. How do you tell? Our kid loves them. They stick well (the magnets )

They look more like a brushed nickel. They aren't black and they aren't a shiny stainless.

They do stick to metal and probably stick to anything with their sticky backing. They ARE magnetic.

no they are not. I dont know if they can be, a mechanic I know ran a magnet in a circle in the middle to magnatize my screw driver bit. You should look that up on the internet as how to or call Black and Decker if they have them, magnetic bits are worth it.

I don't think so. It is induction-ready, which usually means 18/0 stainless--no nickel. It's really the chromium, not the nickel, which provides the stainless quality. The nickel just gives a lighter color that looks more like silver. It's generally used for knives, forks and spoons, which (at least in some houses) used to be made of silver.

I don't actually remember, but I have conducted a test and they are not magnetic. Hope this helps. Joan R.

I haven't had any indication that there are magnets in this case. I'd be surprised if there were.

they are made if stainless steel, but they are not magnetic, ie they will not stick to a metal surface, and a magnet will not stick to the stainless steel

Now that I am looking at the ad and the other answers, I am no longer sure. I could have sworn they were lined with nickel and had an inner cup. Skip my previous answer since I can't look at them.
