what is the easiest way of separating the stack without shattering/breaking the magnets?

Yes, they are "crazy" strong!! The best way to do it, is to hold them next to a sharp edged counter. Then push the top one off onto the counter and push it away. Only do One at a time, and only have a couple on the counter at a time... So don't sling back together. I found this by googling the question... I think there was actually a video on YouTube.

I use Wiha Tools - Magnetizer/Demagnetizer Tool Magnetizer/Demagnetizer to magnetize which ever bit I am using. This works great for me, especially really small screws that is hard to hold.

I use a knife and gently press on each one of the tabs/fasteners. It takes a while. It's a real pain to get off.

Gently allow the stack to attach themselves to a narrow piece of flat metal (similar to a file cabinet drawer pull) and then slide them off the stack, one at a time.

These magnets were pretty strong. They may be too large in diameter to use on a name-tag. When I stuck two together without the spacer, they were incredibly hard to separate. I would recommend a rigid backer for the name-tag (otherwise you may get too much flex and peel on the edge of the magnet, between the magnet and the cloth (as you pull the tag away) and end up "peeling the magnet" off of the cloth. I used these to actually glue to another, weaker refrigerator magnet I had. I found the poles and got the strongest side to the refrigerator and used a surface insensitive super glue to bond them together. Since I don't take them on/off the fridge a lot, it seem to be holding so far. You may be able to use a hot-melt Hobby glue from Michael's too bond to the cloth, but I might suggest using the smaller, 1/2" version of these. I believe I've seen plastic tags that actually have a "Magnet Bar" with two 1/2" diameter magnets glued to a piece of metal and then the plastic piece has a metal bar glued to the back of that. When you wear the name tag, the magnets get "Sandwiched" between the two pieces of metal but the way they are attracted, the metal bar acts kind of like a "handle" when you take it off. If you search "Magnetic Name Badges" you will probably be able to find a picture of what I'm describing.

It is two separate pieces, that is one reason why i didn't like it. It was clumsy to use also because it is only held together with magnets which came apart easily.

Although this would depend on your event, I wouldn't separate them in advance. They easily separate from each other, so it's not difficult to pull one off and hand it to a person. If you do separate them, be advised that these are lightweight pieces of Tyvek that can get static, so I would recommend giving the pile a light spray of Static Guard.

To be honest, I've never tried that, it's much safer to pull it apart, you don't need to disassemble it completely though so moving it around shouldn't be too tough

The panels are together by the end pieces being bent to for a loop. I do not see how you could take them apart without either cutting the loop or unbending it (the latter of which I have not had any luck doing on something such as metal hangers). When I need to make mine smaller, I either fold a couple panels around the back side (making a flap) and bungee cord them closed, or I just make a smaller circle and bungee it closed. Seems these days, I use my bungee cord a lot. :D Hope this helps

If the nickel content of the panel is too high, magnetic objects won't stick. However, that being said, even if magnets can be attached, even a very strong magnet wouldn't be strong enough to hold your utensils.

Hello, Thank you for your question. I do not believe these can be removed without breaking the item.

You can temporarily magnetize the bits yourself. Just get a strong magnet and stroke the bit across the magnet in the same direction several times. Repeat whenever the magnetism gets weak.

Well...you can remove all the trays and top....every tray comes off. I don't know how much more apart you would need it to be.

you could try and balance the ring on the edge of something firm (counter) and apply downward pressure near the split in the ring. This should bend it so you can remove the spoons.If you had a couple pair of pliers that would also work by bending in opposite directions to open the ring.Hope that works for 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.

Hello- They are numbered in consecutive order, so you would want to stack them up carefully if you are going to pre-seperate them. Maybe paper-clip every 10 so they dont fall apart when they are loose.

NO, I've used a lot of these magnets! They would not hold the pieces together. The Magnet isn't strong enough!
