1x 12Lbs Portable Telescopic Magnetic Pick Up Rod Tool Stick Extending Magnet

We supply many of Australia's Universities and Research Institutes including, CSIRO, RMIT, Griffith Uni, Melbourne Uni, Charles Sturt Uni, James Cook Uni, QUT and more!. Our magnets are manufactured to ISO9001 Quality Standards from leading manufacturers. We supply some of Australia's most innovative companies in the development of new products, a plethora of craft stores, backyard experimentalists and the hobbyists alike.

Magnetic Strength and Gauss: Magnetic strength and Gauss ratings can be confusing. Many companies advertise their magnets and magnetic products with the “internal gauss” rating which is very different from the actual “surface gauss”. The surface gauss is dependent on the N-rating, size and shape of magnet. We provide a magnetic force calculator to calculate holding force and gauss at our website. Just type “Frenergy” or “Magnetic Force Calculator” into a search engine like Google and find our website. We have provided the surface Gauss in the item description above and also further technical information in the tables below.

Coatings: We have supplied a Coating properties table below. Most of our magnets are nickel coated as this is the most durable and economical. Gold coatings are used primarily for direct skin contact to reduce the risk of skin irritation.

Types of magnets: There are 5 main types of magnets. Neodymium and Samarian Cobalt are permanent magnets which means they don't lose their magnetism over time like Alnico, Ceramic/Ferrite or Flexible rubber magnets. Neodymium are the strongest however most are rated below 100 degrees C. Some neodymium magnets can tolerate up to 150 degrees C. Samarian Cobalt are the most expensive as shown in the cost comparison and have both high temperature and high strength properties. Ceramic/Ferrite and flexible rubber magnets are the least expensive and also have low magnetic force.
