Last week we launched the first blog post in the series of Our Experts\u2019 Favourite Magnets. Our team are taking the time to reveal their favourites and the reasons why they rate them so highly. We started off with Juan Suarez-Robinson, our fresh-faced Customer Sales Adviser whose favourite magnet is the Feel Flux gadget!<\/p>\n

This week, our Head of Sales and Marketing,\u00a0Simon Elliott,\u00a0will be chatting to us and revealing his favourite magnet! But first, a bit about the man himself. Simon is a charismatic leader with natural motivational qualities. When he is not singing along to Smooth FM in the office he\u2019s singing about his beloved Derby County FC. A man of the world who now brings his skills and expertise to the magnet industry.<\/p>\n

But down to business.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We started off by asking about his favourite magnet and he revealed to us his admiration for the\u00a025mm Neodymium Clamping Magnet with an M5\u00a0Hook\/Eyebolt and 20kg pull<\/a><\/strong>. This is a very popular magnet because it can be used in what can only be described as the UK\u2019s latest craze, magnetic fishing. Excellent choice, Simon!<\/p>\n

Here is the magnet itself. Which of the two fixings below do you prefer, the hook or eyebolt?<\/p>\n

\"Hook<\/p>\n

When asked for the reasons behind his choice and what it can be used for, Simon replied:<\/p>\n

\u201cThis magnet is tough with a super-strong 20KG pull at only 25mm wide, which makes it absolutely ideal for countless applications including magnetic fishing<\/a>, hanging displays, running cables in the garden and generally tidying up around your home & office.\u00a0I think it is great to have around the office as it can be used to keep hazards out of the way including bags, coats and keys.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Below, 2 of our customers have sent in magnetic life hacks using magnets similar to Simon’s choice. See how to replicate these with our\u00a0Magnetic Hooks for Hanging Mugs<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Magnetic Hooks for your BBQ<\/a>\u00a0articles.<\/p>\n

So, how much does this magnet cost and what varieties are available?<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom\u00a0just\u00a0\u00a35.38 you can have the\u00a0clamping magnet<\/a> on its own, or order it along with the eye or hook attachment to extend the range of applications this magnet can be used for. Bulk prices are available and the more you buy, the less you pay per magnet.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>That\u2019s an \u2018attractive\u2019 bargain (pun fully intended) some might say. When the offer is that good, you simply must stock up\u2026<\/p>\n
