Good idea.. I wonder if the magnets keep the beer fresher![]()
Same here! You can take three of the magnets and use the holes in the ends to make a circle. Add two small angle brackets to attach a broom handle. You should be able to lift a five horse lawnmower engine. Made one for my buddy & he uses it to grab up roofing nails under eaves of old buildings he searches.not a bad idea.
I used to recycle computers. when I tore down the hard drives I would get two neodymium magnets. I would sell in lots of 10 on ebay. one guy bought two lots so I was curious why so many. He nails them around his garage and work bench. he use them to hold all his tools, from wrenches to shovels.
Do they still make PBR or Hamms? Have not seen those in years or even commercials.Good idea! Unfortunately, I won't be able to do that with my cans of PBR in my fridge.
A 100% markup is normal on many things, I try for more than that. Jewelry stores do what is called Keystone markup, double the cost and then double it again. That is why they can give such a great discount.I recently bought a bunch of neodymium magnets straight from a factory in China. The markup of those things are pretty darned high here. They were less than half the price over there.

When you order from those commies (yes, I am old and that is what they were called decades ago) be sure you get what you pay for. An acquaintance of mine makes a product using neodymium magnets molded to a certain size. He also wanted a certain N value (like N52) they shipped his first test order and it was a few numbers lower. They just assumed he would not know how to test. He refused it and they had to remake.
I'm with you as far as those commies go. I never did trust those little *******s. I did wonder about the "n" grade that they're selling from there, if they might bamboozle others by sending out the weaker magnets.I wouldn't put it past them one bit.
I flew from Los Angeles to Tokyo with a layover in Beijing, China. To catch my flight to Tokyo from Beijing I was in a secure waiting area of their very impressive airport. I had to go through a thorough screening and show my passport and ticket. While waiting, two 20 something Chinese girls came up to me and in very good English said "can you change my $20 for two $10s?" I took the U.S 20 dollar bill and held it up to a light and exactly as expected, no watermark on the right. I gave it back and told them it was a fake, they said sorry and quickly turned and disappeared into the crowd. I thought about it for a few seconds and decided to see if I could find them and see who else they would try this scam on. But alas they blended in real well. Of course, I was in China, I expected scams like that but what got me how did these two girls get into this highly secure area?

PBR is all the rage among the hipster crowd these days. In Philly at some bars it's $6/can!
