Strong magnet and the rope are good quality. The magnet held onto this sign so we could pull it out of the lake.

Everything is ok for the money. I'm glad I didn't spend a bunch more. All ends were significantly loose. Tightening this, I noticed they try to "secure" the ends of the nylon rope with heat shrink. This is a terrible idea. It heats the rope and causes a weak point and does nothing to help keep the knot secure. I wish they would stop this and pull on the ends to make sure they are tight before shipping.

Bought for my grandson to go magnet fishing. The rope started fraying after a few tugs out of the river over the bridge wall. The magnet was not strong enough to pull up anything of substance, will buy a one side magnet next time. He did have a lot of fun pulling up screws and nails and some fishing gear but could not really get anything with some weight to it. it also pulled magnetic sand particles out of dirt. He really enjoys it, but for serious fishermen you need to go bigger. We learned.

I am very disappointed. This magnet is weaker than your refrigerator magnets. Definitely not a 1000lb pull magnet. Not a 500lb either. Very weak. It will barely pick up a washer and screw. Not capable. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY on this. This is garbage. Should not be sold to anyone. I sent it back immediately after trying it out.

A number of reviews have mentioned the necessity of a thread locker to prevent the eye bolt from backing out of the magnet. As a former award-winning salesman in the fastener business, I can tell you that the problem here is not a loose fit between the male threads of the eye bolt and the female threads of the magnet. The problem is the grade 0-2 of the furnished flat washer and lock washer, while the Rockwell hardness of the magnet itself is likely in the grade 5 range, if not harder. Most people are very likely not securing the eye bolt with sufficient torque to stretch the stud portion at all, let alone enough to utilize the tensile strength of this stud to resist further stretching and thus to never come loose. So, by applying a relatively soft flat washer and lock washer (grade 2 at the most ) between the bolt portion of the eye bolt and the magnet, it's only a matter of time before they "dish out", especially the thinner flat washer, thus causing your formerly "tight" fitment to become loose. So, the lesson here is this: Don't use the provided flat washer and lock washer. Take 2 small pieces of wood, say at least a half inch thick, put the magnet in a strong vise between the wood pieces, tighten very securely with the eye of the eye bolt sticking up. Then put a large screwdriver or some other long enough, strong enough, item, like a "bulldick" or a pry bar, into the eye, then pull this item with about 27 foot pounds of pull, assuming it's a 3/8 th bolt, or 41 foot pounds if it's a 7/16 th bolt, and assuming it's a grade 5, which it likely is. Doing this will stretch the bolt just a little, a few thousandths, but enough to utilize the 6600# of tensile strength (assuming it's a 3/8 " grade 5 bolt, to prevent it from coming loose. Use a torque wrench for this if you can figure out a way to secure the end to the eye. Otherwise just pull the item you put through the eye with about all the force you can muster while standing straight up and pulling with only one arm. DON'T USE THE PROVIDED WASHERS!!! Use hardened ones or none at all.
