I would like to put two of these on opposite sides of a 1" underwater glass window, with a scrub pad between. How strong are they at this distance?

I think they would be very strong. I only have 1 of these magnets, and it is very powerful. If I stick it to a metal door jam or metal pipe, it is EXTREMELY difficult to remove. I have placed a metal file on top of a 3/4" thick c-top and with the magnet on the underside of the top it moves the file easily. I've also stuck it to my 24' tape measure hanging on my jean pocket and then stuck my 18 volt Hitachi cordless drill to "It". Just examples of how powerful this magnet is. I use it to find metal studs in the wall for installing cabinets in the commercial field, and absolutely love it. I don't know if this helps you but with the 2 magnets pulling toward each other on the 1" glass with the pad between, I think it would work.

I bought that and another similar product. Both were fairly useless. I'd save the frustration and return it. It may do ok in a very small self contained space but won't compare to a window unit.

Just measure the distance between the racks where the glasses go. That's how far apart they should be.

They're not very thick, so honestly I doubt it would be very effective. Cool idea, though. You just probably want thicker ones.

Honestly, i think people might not read the instructions/abuse the items they complain about. We have used the adhesive and we have no complaints. If it is mounted in place and not removed (using the suction cup) it will probably be just as strong us when you started. If you move it often, the suction cup and window needs to be cleaned. Any tiny object breaking the suction will make it seem defective.

I would not recommend it because the surface area that contacts the window is not large and would put a strain on the glass.

I would say no. They are not as strong as some of the other pads I have used.

I wouldn't put more than 1 pair on each side. You can then put t-shirts, etc. in between the other rungs. I have had it loaded with wet towels and washcloths and it held up beautifully. I think as long as you balance it on each side you won't have a problem. Good luck!

I had them out for two monts and had zero problems. I used the command adhesive hooks and did fine. Not sure if you are planning to go underwater with your application.

Anna..I removed those Black protective pads to get a bit more room to fit my windows. I could have left them on but it was a tight squeeze if I did leave them on. With them removed they fit just fine. When you install them, the thumb screws face inwards towards the room. Just tighten down the screws with a wrench or a pliers. Once I completed my installation, the window is impossible to open. Someone would literally have to smash the glass if they wanted to break in. To be on the safe side; I put two of these on the window track...one on the left side and the other on the opposite side. Hope this information helps...stay safe.

I have a very large window. I bought 2 packages. They work extremely well. I'm very pleased with the product.

As a temporary curtain (for garage side door), I hung a bath towel on my magnetic rod. The one side has a strong magnet, but the other side is a bit weak. So I solved the problem by putting a loose magnet below the weak side and it supports just fine.

If the glass is tempered and is at least 1" -2.5" thick to support the weight

Without trying, it is impossible to know your situation, however, I use this pad with a window mount for a 7" GPS unit in a motorhome which has a strongly slanted dash. I have found that the pad does not move. My arrangement will not support the GPS as the GPS is heavy and I have had to block the bottom of the GPS with a block of wood to keep it up where it needs to be, but the Bracketron base pad has stayed in position. It is not a permanent mount, and designed to be moved, but when put into position on a maybe 30 degree angle, it has stayed in place for over a year. Hope that helps.

It would be a close. I have mine on a glass nano aquarium. There is about a 1 in or so gap

I haven't tried it but I don't think it would work. The glass is fairly thick.

Hi Cynthia, these suction cup handles are really strong IF they're used for the intended purpose: Longitudinal pulling. That means pulling up if they are mounted on a horizontal flat surface. They're not really strong but can handle some stress while pulling laterally. And they need to be on a FLAT surface. They will NOT work on a curved surface so please keep that in mind. I don't know how much weight or stress or which direction the stress would pull but they are designed to handle 200 pounds of longitudinal pulling. That's a lot of power. However, one must respect their limitations such as limitations to retain suction power in the suction cups through a large range of temperature changes. Air expands when it gets hot. If you mount the suction cups on cold windows in the morning, they may need to be refastened in the hot afternoon. These are amazingly strong and powerful suction cups and I have designed two hang glider racks for two different vehicles using these cups. What I've learned is that if I spray a small amount of water on the cups before mounting them in place, the suction power will generally last about 12 to 24 hours throughout the broad temp changes. I keep a small spray bottle in my trunk and simply spray each cup just a tad before mounting. They're mounted on my hood and I can guarantee you that I would pull my hood off the car before these cups will come loose. They're that strong. Again, that's in the longitudinal direction. I think I could break them loose if I pulled laterally. But they're still really strong! Glen
