2000lb Strong 360 Degree Fishing Magnet for Magnetic Fishing, Strong Heavy Duty Neodymium N52 Magnets for Salvage Treasure Hunting in Rivers, Oceans and Lakes

Very strong magnet. On the first day I was able to recover old homemade fishing pole holders made out of reber and iron pipe. They had been lost and covered in muck for quite some time. Also pulled up an old metal bed frame rail.Works great and much fun. Thank you very much.

Extremely powerful magnet. Best priced magnet also. I enjoyed it so much. I bought another one so a friend can fish with me.

I wouldn't let kids play with this unsupervised. Although it may seem weak and any child can pull a wrench off this no problem, if they come across a thick, flat piece of metal this sucker is clamping down hard and if a child s their skin underneath it they may not be able to get it free. If you get it stuck hard on something it's can be pride off through the top eyehole with a screwdriver, it can be slid off the metal, or if you could put your foot on the metal and apply 70 lb of strength to pull it off straight away that would work. It is not going to move anything 2000 lb. Supposedly a 2000 lb pulling force, double sided magnet means 1000 lb on each side. However this will not pull 1,000 lb or even a few hundred pounds. I was very disappointed that the delivery man didn't have to pry it off the wall of his truck when he delivered it to me. Oh well it is what it is.

There is such a thing as too strong. This 2000 pound pull is a very strong. I think the 1000 pound magnet would be enough for magnet fishing. I cant imagine what the 3600 pound pull would be like. Be carefull of your fingers when near a large piece of steel as the pull will pinch your fingertips between the magnet and the steel and it will hurt. Alot. All that being said, you cant do better if looking for a very strong magnet!

I was looking for a 360 degree magnet to add to my collection. I found this on Amazon for $75 and figured I'd give it a show. Some of the reviews state things like "Much Smaller than the picture makes it look" and "This thing can't hold 2,000 pounds!" Both of these are true statements. It's only about the size of a tennis ball but it is impressive. No, it can lift 2,000 pounds, but no 2,000 pound magnet can. In fact no 500lb magnet can lift 500lb. You need to understand these ratings before you rant about them. A single sided 1000 pound magnet should be able to move (not lift) a 1000 lb item. A 2 sided, 1000 lb magnet has the pulling strength of only 500 lb on each side. Not 1,000. And these numbers only apply in the most ideal situations, meaning locking an entire magnet surface onto a VERY flat metal surface made of one of the more magnetic metals. No 2000 pound magnet is going to lift the back of your car off the ground though.So let's get back to this one. I throw it into ocean harbors in my New England city. My previous magnet was a 2 sided 1,200 pound and it was pretty good. This thing blows it out of the water. It's small size is actually beneficial. Making it easier to throw and less likely to get snagged. Almost every single pull it comes back covered in metal on all sides. Just yesterday it pulled up a 4 foot long piece of metal that weighed 85 pounds. Now keep in mind that it was only making contact about a 1/2 inch x 14inch area of this 85 lb piece and it hauled it up with no problem.This is about as good of a magnet fishing magnet as you can get for under $100. I recommend pairing it with the Gear Aid 1100 (100ft) paracord/carabiner combo selling here on Amazon for $13. Together they are awesome. No, I have no affiliation with any of these products I'm just a guy from Massachusetts who likes magnet fishing and is happy to share what he learns.

The magnet was used three times and it broke apart. DO NOT waste your money! The AMAZON app would not let me post picture. I contacted the seller and was told there is no warranty in colliding with hard objects, "which is what you have done". They told me that I broke it and how I did it. Not a word is true. DO NOT BUY THIS MAGNET and I would think twice about buying anything else from this seller.

I have no way of measuring this magnet but it is STRONG. Probably stronger than I need. I stuck it to a cast iron dumbbell weight and standing on the plate, I could not pull it off with a straight up pull. With lettering and holes on the plate, I would guess maybe 40% contact. If you are retrieving underwater 'treasures' you might be dealing with pipes or other non-flat objects so don't expect a 1000lb grip under real life conditions. If it does happen to land on flat clean steel (like the side of a bridge), you might be losing your magnet. Read up on magnet fishing and how magnets are rated so you have realistic expectations.

This 2000 lb magnetic did not disappoint, surprised by the power it has.Latched on to my vise and I was pulling the table over trying to get it loose, it had to be slid off , no way I could pull it off in a straight pull. First time I tried it I pulled large pieces of concrete the had rebar imbedded in it from under a bridge, amazed how much weight I could lift.I contacted the seller and was assured the 2000 lb 360 already has loctite and is ready to use outta the box.Would recommend,,,,
