The magnet on a flat pull is very strong, don't listen to the people who say they are weak while trying to pick up the hook or eyelets it comes with. The hook is not ferrous, and the metal the eyelets are made from is barely ferrous. Magnets cannot pick up every type of metal out there. I hooked it to my coffee table leg, and it sticks to that very well, stuck it to my front door for a straight pull from the center of the magnet and heard my door frame creak before it let go. This isn't going to pull out street signs and such like some of the guys do on videos online, but it is a great beginner kit, and that's what I was looking for. The hook is made out of some sort of light metal, not sure if it is an aluminum alloy, or what it is. It might be stronger than I think, but I feel like if you got anything of serious weight on it, it would probably bend or the ring welded on the end might come off, but I could be wrong. I would bet it will handle anything the magnet will though. The rope is typical paracord you can get anywhere but feels sturdy enough. The gloves are like a light gardening glove with rubberized palm and fingers. The gloves won't save you from sharp objects, but will help, and will help pulling anything rusty, just watch for sharp edges. The case feels very sturdy, it has a channel for a rubber seal, but mine didn't come with one, not sure if it was supposed to or not. The "collapsible bucket" is essentially just a canvas bag, it will handle anything smaller and of any value you want to bring home, but I would get a plastic bucket for the junk items you pull to get rid of. Good buy for the money, I bought magnetic coat hooks for the sides of my tool box that cost more than this set, and have similar strength magnets in them, maybe a little weaker. Great beginner set, and a good way to get outside doing something off the couch and away from electronics, plus you can clean up some of the junk in your water ways in your area while having fun at it!

I don't know how it's 1200 lb pull with as small as the magnet is the kit and case is nice just not as big as I figured it would be

I don't know what some are talking about saying these are weak. My only guess is they don't understand how a magnet works and are trying to pick up stuff like aluminum and stainless steel. They also probably don't understand some items may be metal but are a mixture and if there's not enough iron in the metal the magnet won't be as attracted to it. As far as strength? The blood blister on my thumb says it's pretty dang strong. Do Not get your fingers between the magnet and a piece of metal or you too will have a nice size blood blister. Yes the magnet is strong, the box is nice and it comes with some good quality rope. If you're looking to have some fun magnet fishing or need to retrieve something from the water this is a good buy.

I got my magnet fishing kit last month and this week finally had time to take it out for a spin. It came with several accessories including a grappling hook which I found to be super helpful. A few hours into my "fishing" I launched the magnet into the water and the rope slipped into the water too. I thought about jumping in after it but Florida's brackish water is dirty and often had gators so I had to walk away. Fortunately when I contacted the company and explained my situation (with pictures) they were very understanding and promised to send another kit.This is really going above and beyond. I truly appreciate the help they gave me as well as their encouragement to keep trying. This is a solid kit and good seller. Give them, and the hobby itself, a try!

I like how long the rope is. If it has a way to wind it up better that would be cool. Also wish the bucket was more durable . But other than that it's awesome

Took it out the first time a few days ago with my daughter. I had tried it out around the house and thought the magnet felt pretty weak. But then went to a bridge and got it accidentally attached to the metal railing of the bridge-I couldn’t even get it to move a tiny bit! Magnets are a lot stronger than I first thought! I ended up finding a big chunk of asphalt and used that to hit it and scoot it to the edge of the metal where I could finally remove it. We caught a pair of pliers, a fishhook, and a knife. Not bad for our first time ever trying it! Made some memories with the kiddo-worth the price.

Loved the dual sided magnet and I prefer this over most other shapes of magnets. Grappling hook is a good addition, even though it's terribly welded and a little scary in that regard. Currently I'm using it as a window deciration in my nautical themed windowsill. I upgraded this 1000lb (500lb/side) kit with a few items from the hardware store and here on Amazon. You need Locktite thread glue ($5) or another type of thread locker glue to fasten the bolt to the magnet. Used two old Rubbermaid food storage containers to store the whole kit with a little modification. Magnet had bolt attached with Locktite, waited 24 hours to completely harden, then cut the foam to fit the bolt...then slid it into the container. Bottom of the shipping foam from the magnet was cut as well to shorten it to better shut the lid (see closeup magnet pic). Gloves and Locktite with the supplied extra bolt sit in there nicely as well. The 65' rope that came with the kit (blue rope in my pics) came with one not great carabiner, but it does the trick. I bought an 8 pack of the screw lock carabiners here on Amazon for $11 and put a few in that Rubbermaid, then tied one to the other end of the rope for extra security. Lastly, for $10 my local Ace Hardware had this yellow 100' rope with a 750lb capacity. Used a 36" rubber strap to secure it all, and doubles as a little carrying handle. Other than a little heat shrink to better secure my knots, this kit is good to go for this somewhat beginner! Definitely a good magnet to do your own upgrades to as well that comes with a good bit of kit to start out. Lastly, the gloves fit but are slightly tight. However, I'm a 6'1" guy with large hands. It's to be expected. I have different gloves I'll use when these break.
