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

My family really enjoys using this fishing magnet. We haven’t found anything cool yet but the hunt is the most fun part and we’re doing it together so it’s quality time well spent. This thing is surprisingly strong. I do recommend buying a longer fishing rope for it so you have more line to play with. I also learned that this magnet is strong enough to remove the alarm sensors off clothing - figured this out on YouTube after Target didn’t take one off and it also didn’t alarm when I left.

Okay, so I had this and loved using it but let my grandson use it and he lost it. One needs to be very careful when using it around anything metal because it is so strong, it won’t come off. He got it stuck on the bridge and then couldn’t get it off. I night buy another but will wait until spring.

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.

Very strong held metal in place so I could weld it

We got it for magnet fishing and it works super nicely! It is that pretty heavy for me so my boyfriend always has to throw it in for me lol. It hasn’t rusted at all and we got out pretty frequently in the summer and spring. The magnet is incredibly strong and brings up lots of good stuff!

Lots of fun but it is strong

Very strong magnet absolutely nowhere near the rated strength of 3600 lbs.

You don't want to get these caught on an iron bridge.....man, what a tough pull. Be very careful not to get your finger between it and iron either. Not a toy by any means. A 12-year-old & I had a blast throwing into lakes & off bridges. I let our local police department know I have a couple if they ever needed to borrow.
