I have no way of measuring this magnet but it is STRONG. Probably stronger than I need. I stuck it to a cast iron dumbbell weight and standing on the plate, I could not pull it off with a straight up pull. With lettering and holes on the plate, I would guess maybe 40% contact. If you are retrieving underwater 'treasures' you might be dealing with pipes or other non-flat objects so don't expect a 1000lb grip under real life conditions. If it does happen to land on flat clean steel (like the side of a bridge), you might be losing your magnet. Read up on magnet fishing and how magnets are rated so you have realistic expectations.

I haven't had a chance to magnet fish with it yet due to bad weather, however I played with it a bit and can already tell it is extremely more powerful than my old magnet that did a decent job so I'm excited to see what this one performs like.

I wouldn't let kids play with this unsupervised. Although it may seem weak and any child can pull a wrench off this no problem, if they come across a thick, flat piece of metal this sucker is clamping down hard and if a child s their skin underneath it they may not be able to get it free. If you get it stuck hard on something it's can be pride off through the top eyehole with a screwdriver, it can be slid off the metal, or if you could put your foot on the metal and apply 70 lb of strength to pull it off straight away that would work. It is not going to move anything 2000 lb. Supposedly a 2000 lb pulling force, double sided magnet means 1000 lb on each side. However this will not pull 1,000 lb or even a few hundred pounds. I was very disappointed that the delivery man didn't have to pry it off the wall of his truck when he delivered it to me. Oh well it is what it is.

Don't fret the size. It grabs onto metal and through other materials with metal in them in the water to haul out your "treasures" as you clean-up the waterways.It was able to pull up a boat trailer guide encased in PVC tubing with ease. Quite impressive that the PVC outer sleeve wasn't enough to thwart it's ability.

I was looking for a 360 degree magnet to add to my collection. I found this on Amazon for $75 and figured I'd give it a show. Some of the reviews state things like "Much Smaller than the picture makes it look" and "This thing can't hold 2,000 pounds!" Both of these are true statements. It's only about the size of a tennis ball but it is impressive. No, it can lift 2,000 pounds, but no 2,000 pound magnet can. In fact no 500lb magnet can lift 500lb. You need to understand these ratings before you rant about them. A single sided 1000 pound magnet should be able to move (not lift) a 1000 lb item. A 2 sided, 1000 lb magnet has the pulling strength of only 500 lb on each side. Not 1,000. And these numbers only apply in the most ideal situations, meaning locking an entire magnet surface onto a VERY flat metal surface made of one of the more magnetic metals. No 2000 pound magnet is going to lift the back of your car off the ground though.So let's get back to this one. I throw it into ocean harbors in my New England city. My previous magnet was a 2 sided 1,200 pound and it was pretty good. This thing blows it out of the water. It's small size is actually beneficial. Making it easier to throw and less likely to get snagged. Almost every single pull it comes back covered in metal on all sides. Just yesterday it pulled up a 4 foot long piece of metal that weighed 85 pounds. Now keep in mind that it was only making contact about a 1/2 inch x 14inch area of this 85 lb piece and it hauled it up with no problem.This is about as good of a magnet fishing magnet as you can get for under $100. I recommend pairing it with the Gear Aid 1100 (100ft) paracord/carabiner combo selling here on Amazon for $13. Together they are awesome. No, I have no affiliation with any of these products I'm just a guy from Massachusetts who likes magnet fishing and is happy to share what he learns.

Excellent. I actually have it stored, holding rope and gear from the I-Beam in my basement. Only way to get it off is with a pry bar. It’s the bits, yeah.
