  • Use for repulsion-attraction
  • Will not demagnetize when pushed together
  • Stamped "N" & "S" & painted red & blue respectively
  • Paint is guaranteed lead & heavy metal free
  • Will pick up minimum of 20 uncoated paperclips
  • Note (1): Ferrite bars are fragile/brittle. Do not drop on hard floors.
  • Note (2): Ferrite bars are relatively weak & will not magnetize nails or pins. Stronger magnets such as Nd or Alnico are best for this application.

Good strong magnet, not recommended for kids as they break easily when dropped.

— Indigo:

Yes, brittleness is their main drawback. But, dirt cheap compared to AlNiCo.
