Collection: Bolt Magnets

Bolt magnets, the new, high style magnet from Strong Like Bull Magnets!

The magnets have a machined aluminum two part outer housing that are anodized for color and durability. The perimeter of the main housing has a grippy knurl pattern that gives a sort of high end knob vibe. The second top housing  piece provides the ability to add a contrasting pop of color. The top label provides some metallic shine with the subtle bolt logo. The bottom of the magnet has a durable urethane rubber pad with a bolt shaped cut out to show the inner Neodymium magnet. The urethane pad provides surface protection from scratches.

Strength

At the magnet assembly's core is a sizable high grade Neodymium Iron Boron (NdFeB) magnet. 

These 'rare earth Neo' magnets provide strong attraction to steel so you can be comfortable that whatever you 'pin' to a surface will remain securely in place.

It's not uncommon for magnets to be advertised with 'pull strength' force specifications. Pull forces derived from axial fixtures using ideal surfaces can be a bit confusing and abstract. Furthermore, the strength of a magnet decreases rapidly as distance increases between the magnet and the attractive surface. As such, I like to provide a simple, practical 'measure' as follows.

Bolt magnets can pin and hold 25 stacked sheets of 8.5X11" paper vertically to a typical refrigerator surface. I believe the 'sheets of paper' test is a more understandable, envision-able measure. Certainly we've all experienced the typical giveaway flat refrigerator magnets that struggle to hold more than a couple coupons or envelopes before they slide down your refrigerator. In contrast, Bolt magnets will keep your papers securely in place!

Note, contrary to common belief, stainless steel can be magnetically attractive (or not) depending on the grade of stainless steel. So with the popularity of stainless steel in today's refrigerators, it depends on the brand and model of refrigerator as to whether it would be magnetically attractive... many are. The same applies to whiteboards, many are magnetically attractive and some are not. Other common surfaces for use include office file cabinets and lockers.
