"I purchased these as well once I purchased my Hobart Handler 187 for fabricating little brackets. They work very well and dont bend the metal when removing them from very thin sheet metal."

Good for small stuff,

"These magnets aren't the strongest available, but they are helpful with smaller pieces. They aren't the first ones that I reach for, but the multiple available angles come in handy at times."

A little weak for holding steel round stock,
February 18, 2008
By towermakerfrom Bluebell Country
"We bought these to hold 3/8" round stock, to weld some small pieces together. They're not very strong, and don't hold this type of metal very well. They may work better for thinner sheet metal, as others have said, but not too great for thicker steel. I do like that depending on which side you stick to the metal you're working on, it provides different angles, i.e. one side is 45*, one is 60*, one is 90*. That did help with the project I'm working on."

"They are a little smaller than what I was expecting and the magnets are not very strong, but work well for sheet metal and other lighter weight materials."

Mini-magnets,
October 15, 2007
By Daveinphoenixfrom Phoenix, Az
"They are handy to have around, but I also recommend that one has a larger, stronger set as well. I use these with lighter material, or when fitting small gussets to tack weld. It is nice that they are not so strong that you can't get them loose. I use the point end of a chipping hammer in the finger hole to keep from burning my fingers, or when wearing heavy welding gloves."
