Standard (iron) magnets

{Summary}

Limited quantity, once these are sold there are no more.

Material: iron.

Shape: round

Size: 8X4mm

Very small. Buy a few.

How does this compare with our other (most powerful, Neodymium) magnets?

This is a very low value item. We have a minimum order charge of £7.50 (£6.25 + VAT). Is this the only item you require? You may wish to buy more than one, or add some other items to the order.

{Uses for testing}

Gold and silver are not magnetic. So when you are presented with dozens of items to test, save time by picking out all the items that are magnetic.

This does NOT mean that there are special magnets for testing gold and silver. If an item is NOT magnetic, it could be any one of hundreds of metals (including gold and silver).

Silver is strongly 'diamagnetic'. If you slide an appropriate magnet down a flat silver surface (e.g. a coin) it will move slowly instead of 'falling off'. Copper is slightly diamagnetic. See our 'magnets for silver testing' - a set of 3 magnet, a sample copper coin and instructions.

Copper is not magnetic, neither is brass (a mixture of copper and zinc) or bronze (a mixture of copper and mostly tin). A magnet is useful because many copper / bronze / brass items are really steel that has been plated and will (in most cases) be very magnetic. As with gold and silver: if an item is magnetic it is not solid copper / bronze / brass.

{Wholesale}

We have a limited quantity these and once sold there are no more. Genuine wholesale enquiries welcome, see wholesale terms for details.

Keep one of these in your buying bag (or even your purse) then, even if you have forgotten your gold tester, you can 'filter' out obvious non-gold.

PRICE IS FOR A PACK OF 4

Material: iron

Shape: round

Size: 30mm diameter X 5mm thick
(note, 30mm dia, much bigger than it appears in the photo against the coins!)

Price is for a pack of four.

We only have a few, once gone there are no more.

Smartly-presented, encased in white plastic, intended for shop displays but useful in any warehouse, store room or office. Attach it vertically (e.g. on the side of metal shelves) for hanging notices or small items; if you attach it horizontally (e.g. underneath a shelf) it is powerful enough to hang quite heavy objects.

{Uses. Tip.}

Originally designed for shop displays, these are also of use in warehouses and storerooms, in the office, even in the home for...all sorts of things.

TIP:
if you fix it vertically (e.g. on a wall) it works fine for hanging lightweight objects
but
if you fix it horizontally (e.g. on the underneath of a metal shelf) the force is several times stronger and you can hand heavy objects.
