   They deliver what they offer.

   I use them as a distraction while I’m thinking. Add in a handful of small ball bearings and a few steel rods and you have a small sculpture set. I sewed a few of them into a canvas tool bag and they hold loose screws and small metal parts in place. You can find nails behind drywall with these as well.

   Everybody should have a few magnets in the house.

   Neodymium-Iron-Boron rare earth magnet: 1/4 cylinder… Unfortunately, the north and south poles are through a *diameter* of the cylinder. This means you cannot put two of them on a wire or thin rod and have them “float”. Instead they will spin, align north to south and south to north at the circumference, and snap together. The result is a long “rod” of magnets. This makes them stick to the fridge better, and since there is a hole, you could put a loop of string through it. But these are not so great for those “perpetual motion” machines you know you are thinking about right now.

   Love the sharpener, but disappointed to receive it and find that this well-made German manufacturer’s products are now ‘Made in China’. Inexpensive comes at a cost.
