Rare earth magnets are the strongest type of permanent magnet currently made. They are amazingly powerful for their size and have innumerable uses. These ring magnets are 1.000 inch (25.4mm) diameter, 0.500 inch (12.7mm) inside diameter and 0.125 inch (3.2mm) thick. They are magnetized through the thickness. They are composed of grade 40 neodymium iron boron magnetic material and are plated in nickel-copper-nickel for a shiny corrosion resistant finish. Their individual pull force is approximately 5.4 lbs. Maximum working temperature is 176 F (80 C). Magnets may chip and crack if allowed to snap together. WARNING: KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. This is NOT a toy. Secure magnets when unattended. Ingestion and inhalation hazard. Ingestion or inhalation may cause injury or death.
