54 Pound N52 Grade Neodymium Jeweler Recycle Metal Test Magnet and Pickup Tool

Retrieval and Metal Testing Magnet. Very, very powerful. We have encased an extremely strong 1" diameter x 1/2" cylinder N52 grade neodymium-iron-boron magnet in 6061 aluminum for industrial use. It comes with an extra heavy duty split ring for attaching a hook, rope, wire, or fishing line. Here are some possible uses: *Identify and sort steel grades and metal alloys that contain iron or cobalt *Locate studs in walls easily *Identify/sort solid brass and bronze from plated steel items (handy in the antique market and hardware store) *Identify/sort some types of costume (fake) jewelry, which often uses steel as the base material under the plating. *Attach to your fishing line and cast away. You will find all sorts of sunken goodies. Bridges are an excellent place to go "magnet fishing". If you want to retrieve really big items (like engine blocks), use this magnet as an underwater finder, when it latches on to something, you can drop a very large normal magnet and pull up as much as you or your boat winch will lift. The magnet insert is rated at 54 lbs pull strength (as with all magnets, this rating depends on the magnet mating to a smooth, flat, unpainted steel surface, and this is NOT the same as the lifting power, which depends on a number of factors). The aluminum casing protects the magnet from chipping and breaking, and makes removing iron and steel shavings much easier. A removable vinyl cover is also included. We strongly recommend that you keep the vinyl cover on when not in use, and even in most cases when you are using it. Dimensions are: Bare: 2 1/2" L x 1 1/8" diameter (handle protrudes 1-1/2" from head), weight 2.6 oz. Capped: 2 3/4" L x 1 1/4" Diameter, 2.9 oz. 1/2" (12.5mm) diameter heavy-duty stainless steel split ring included. Proudly made in the USA!
