Swivel Swing Magnetic Hooks, 30lb Strong Heavy Duty Neodymium Magnet Hooks - Use for Home Kitchen Office Garage Outdoor Hanging(4 Pack)

Super strong magnets. Two accidentally stuck together. Almost impossible to break apart.

The neodymium magnets in these hooks are very strong and they perform as advertised. But READ THE SELLERS CAUTIONS before buying. The 30 lb rating is for a vertical pull, meaning that the hook is hanging vertically from a horizontal surface. If the hook is attached to a vertical surface, it can support much less weight. Why do you think this is? There are several reasons. First, the hook is being pulled downward along the vertical surface, but its maximum adhesion power is perpendicular to the surface. This will tend to rotate the hook away from the surface. Beyond that, there are other reasons that the hooks may not appear to adhere as well as one might think. Magnets are attracted to ferrous materials, such as iron. The reason that the magnets adhere to steel surfaces is because of the iron in the steel. Steel is, after all, a composite of several metals, not just iron. Some steel varieties have far less iron in them than others and the hooks will have weaker adherence to these types of steel. In fact, Id go so far to say that the 30 lb vertical rating on these hooks is likely to be valid only for an iron surface. Got it so far, 1- and 2- star reviewers? There are different grades of steel, some of which contain more or less iron. The less iron in the particular grade of steel in your range hood, file cabinet or cruise cabin wall, the less well that the hooks will adhere. But thats not all. Most modern surfaces are either painted or sheathed with plastic or some other material. Separating the magnet of the hook from the metal with a layer of paint, enamel, plastic or paper in between reduces the adhesion force. Said differently, no matter what is put between the hook and the raw steel, if there is a layer there, the magnet of the hook will not adhere as well. The thicker the layer, the less adhesion. Mr. and Mrs. 1- and 2- star, are you still out there? Yes, there is even still more. If you use one of these hooks on a vertical surface, the coating on the surface can have more or less friction. Some surfaces are very slick. The hook will have a greater tendency to slide down a slick surface than it will on a higher-friction surface. Consider the extreme: take oil or grease and coat the metal surface, then stick the hook to it. Now the hook will easily slide downward and will support hardly any weight. The point is that the nature of the surface that the hook is adhered to is very important. Get it? Its abundantly obvious that the 1- and 2- star reviewers are almost exclusively people who have no notion of these concepts. Im writing this because they have unfairly downgraded this product which works just as advertised. Its a good product. Id buy it again.

I love these!! I want more! Super strong and holds some of my utensils nicely next to my counter/stove area, perfect!

Good quality, and I’m sure that the hold 30lb of weight when pulled directly outward from the magnet, but they slide easily when hung on a vertical surface (like a fridge). They do include double-stick adhesive perfectly cut to fit on the back, I just need to find something grippy to stick to it.

Met my need totally!! Happy customer.

really neat widget to hang many things on steel surface. I used to hang rug on back of my large steel front door. Infinite applications. Be creative

These are very strong, secure magnets. Im using them to hang things from fold out tables on my grill after the S-hooks it came with vibrated off and got lost in the back yard.

These things are rediculously strong magnets. They could hold pots and pans if you wanted them to.

Great for use in cabins on ship

Using them for my grill
