I'm sorry, there are conflicting anwers here about the metal strips. Are they for show, or do they shock someone who tries to grab it away from you?

I dont know. The sound and sparks are plenty to scare my neighbor's jumping dog.

We have never tried touching them but I believe it does what you stated. I do not think they are for show.

Okay J - Thank you so much! I am a visual learner and I had no idea how those metal things attach/clip, whatever and if it is hanging from the ceiling already, I guess it's not for support, but just to: Raise The Curtain if you will. Got it. Thanks

There is no wear strip. The metal is heavier than any metal acting as a wear strip.

No, it is a safety feature. Don't want to accidentally shock yourself while you are just looking for something with a flashlight.

I have never used the strips. But the frame is fairly light weight. I'd hate to misinform you.

These are held to a flat steel "donut" of metal which is itself attached to the mounting surface with a pair of screws. The magnet holds to the steel by only the magnetic pull itself, but that attraction is VERY strong! I suspect, if you are very careful, you may be able to slip a flat-blade screwdriver or strong putty knife under the lip of the magnet, between the magnet and the wall, and pry it away from the steel backing plate it is attracted to. I would caution you in this! There is a very good chance you will damage the wall beneath the magnet, where you are prying against it! The attraction between magnet and plate is that strong! Also, be wary of your fingers when trying to slip your prying device under the lip of the magnet; you will need to use a lot of pressure, and if it slips, it could stab into something! The attraction between that magnet and the metal plate behind it is so strong, I can't think of any way you could simply grab it and pull it away. Perhaps with a suitable clamp, or a very large pair of vice grips? But you're likely to mar the surface of the magnet if you aren't careful. Once you have the magnet pulled away from the backing plate, those can simply be unscrewed from the wall they are attached to.

Sounds like a bad strip to me. I use them in automotive but I do cut them into sections. I would contact the seller

I guess that is a question for the manufacturer, because I just don't know. I do know that it has not interfered with my signal or anything as it refers to talking. It HAS ruined a credit card. I put it together in my pocket with the credit card and then the strip did not work... So now I obviously have to keep them apart...

it would only be the same if the clippy-end were attached to something that is connected to the actual ground, aka "grounded." just clipping it to any piece of metal will only help w/ shock and/or static electricity, which is still good to do, but not as good as getting grounded.

The cables are made out of a "twisted metal" that as it was explained to me...will cause most saws used for these jobs to simply slip off the cables. I've had my convertor stolen 3 times..on three different trucks. After each theft I got attachments similar to this one with these types of cables and it never happened again. At the very minimum its a huge deterant. Someone roll under neither your car and see this..the either are preparing to stay a while and risk getting catch or just move on to one that has no protection at all. But along with the break away nuts that can be removed..this device will give your convertor a fighting chance of staying put on your car!

I would email Fagor. My personal reaction is No. I do not use metal implements in microwave. Metal is a wave shield and sparking raises my blood-pressure.

I am looking for an electric fence that shocks, I read the comment below by Joshua that says this system is cheap and doesn't shock. I haven't purchased this system, but by simply reading the product description you know it does not use electric shock. The description clearly states "a buried wire transmits a harmless radio signal." Not sure why I felt compelled to waste 2 minutes of my life writing this. Instead of giving merchants bad reviews, I wish people would just learn to read.

Answer is from my review......The directions were clear....line up the top and simply "snap" on...right! Being > 70, my arm strength is not what it once was, and no way was I going to be able to "snap" that top on. Took what looks like a short croquet mallet from my husband's workbench (head is about 2" round, and made from something other than metal....have no clue what its real purpose is), lined up the top correctly, covered it with a towel to avoid marks, and "tapped" it....to no avail. So, I whacked it above each appropriate spot...and I do mean whacked. Cover and trash can survived without a mark....and cover works perfectly.

Thank you for your question! It is not recommended for use near large metal appliances due to the possibility of "electronic noise" causing the ScatMat to activate unintentionally. For effective deterrents around these objects, we would recommend the http://amzn.com/B00IZGO0RU

why are you guys and gals saying this is a great item when you can not take it to anime cons (metal blades never allowed) and it is not a well made sword? so what is so great about spending 60 or 70 bucks for something that is neither useable for a cosplay piece or for real? It would appear that you spent the money, knew it was a piece of junk when it arrived but tried to justify your purchase somehow by saying it was awesome even tho you got ripped off. Buying cheap swords for no purpose, except it looks like the anime, is pointless imo. But you bought it so, you have to live with it, sorry to hear you got burned but glad others gave a fair warning not to buy this version. why are you guys and gals saying this is a great item when you can not take it to anime cons (metal blades never allowed) and it is not a well made sword? so what is so great about spending 60 or 70 bucks for something that is neither useable for a cosplay piece or for real?

From what I have seen of it I THINK it only makes a signal over the metal. I purchased this as a gift and not for myself.

good questionI believe you will also get shocked electricity travelsbut I believe they will let go want to get hit with it
