A four pack of just the magnets is about the same price. I'm wondering if I am better off buying this, or do I need the handle?

Could you get away with just the magnets? Sure, I guess you could if you just wanted to run them along the wall by hand. The handle does make it much easier though. I don't know if I'd want to use the magnets by themselves, but that's just me.

Strictly speaking you do not need the handle. You can sweep the magnets across the wall one at a time and find studs that way. However, I do use the handle. You can, with the handle locate more than 1 stud, which, otherwise is impossible because of the strength of the magnets. I hope this helps.

get the whole thing, the handle makes it easer, this a great product (it will not work on plaster).

I would go with the handle rather than just the magnets. The handle has felt pads that glide over the wall very smoothly. When it finds a drywall screw, you can mark it with a pice of blue tape and re-use the magnet to find the next screw.

yes. only if you use their extremely strong magnet. typical magnet will not hold. it comes with 6 of the strong magnets and you can buy six packs for about 10 bucks.

Well, you would have to have the polar opposite of this magnet for those to work with what you want. You might be better off using just a piece of metal available at your local hardware store (Home Depot).

I am assuming you are asking if the magnets line up when using two different brands, not as the others have answered...I am not aware of the brands that you have mentioned, so I am no help. Sorry. Magformers have very strong magnets. This set is big enough that it is enough to stand on its own, but I understand if you have others you would want them to integrate. We were worried about not having enough pieces to be able to do a lot of things. With this set, there is not problem - and I have 5 children that play with them simultaneously sometimes.

I don't know why that picture shows a handle- the one I purchased was the two-button model. I believe that is what you'll get.

I bought mine over a year ago. (and I think it's as useful as a broom handle) but it does have a little round magnet attached at the tip. Maybe they've made their product even worse. I had a great grabber from a hospital stay. Maybe a hospital supply offers a better product.

Yes. One magnet would probably work all by itself. I assume you mean ONE magnet on each corner for a total of four. They are really strong, so four would definitely be ok.

There are additional magnets that you can purchase separately. I pretty sure they're available through amazon or one of its affiliated sellers

As the magnets are working through glass(I think that is what you mean when you say both sides) and also dealing with wind and the elements, I would suggest nothing thinner then a 1/4" thick. You would probably get more strength with a block magnet then a disc if the rectangular shape would work for you.

The tips no, but the handle (tip holder) is. Initially the tips seem "dead" but when you drop one into the holder it immediately picks up the magnetic pull from the handle (and remains magnetized after you remove it). Well over half of my tips are now magnetized. Screws, small nuts, and that other little thing you always seem to drop are easily picked up.

I use this product myself and YES the magnet is quite strong. It holds my car keys. And one set is old enough to have a big key and a separate fob (and my work keys and house keys). Good luck and thank you for asking. The Afternoon.

You can purchase it without the "x", but detaching the magnet from the the with will just break it

Why not just use 4 magnets at 4 corners of the board to attach to the fridge?

The spacers are not necessary. They might be useful to someone's unique setup, but I bet 99% of people don't need to use them. I didn't even need to use the screw because my bottle opener is on a metal bar bar cart so the magnet just sticks to the cart. The screw would be needed if you are connecting it to wood. Now that I think about it, maybe the plastic and washers come im handy if you are attaching the magnet to seething the provided screw would go all the way threw without the additional spacers.

The magnets do line up but I don't know if it relates to the Magna/ Picasso Tiles. You might consider asking your Face Book friends or Pintrest followers if you could get together with someone who has some Magformers, then you'd know which direction to go... Or you could order a small set and give it a go. In my book you don't loose, even as a stand alone product the Megformers are great.

Thats exactly what i used it for (albeit i have no kids either) its just makes things easier for my wife and i. just make sure you put more coats on than you think you will need for maximum effectiveness. i put on 3 or 4 and have no problems. the really teeny tiny magnets have problems sometimes sticking but the bigger ones have none at all.
