Oooo, curiously strong magnets, that got me hooked.  You?  This Curiously Strong Neodymium Rare Earth Magnet Set is an awesome holiday gift for anyone, especially those with a keen interested in science or just plain gadgets.

With these curiously strong magnets being five to 15 times the strength of common refrigerator magnets, these babies can lift up to about 400 times their weight in steel.  Wowzers, that’s more than my grandmom can lift with her little finger!

These type of strong magnets are usually found in electronic equipment like cell phones, loudspeakers & hard drives, but are now available to you or a pal!  You choose which magnet set suits you the best:

  • 87 regular piece set – lots of smaller magnets in this set. Entire set weighs in at about 115 grams.  Cost, $20.
  • 50 larger piece set – includes fewer overall magnets, but features more larger magnets. This set weighs in at 160 grams.  Cost, $30.
