Another brand of magnet I use came with a thin layer of silicone or 'rubber' sheet glued to the magnet surface. This increases the hold/anti-slip performance on vertical surfaces.These did not come with a rubber layer on the magnet surface but it's easily added. Anti-slip silicone sheet with a thickness of 1/64" or thinner and silicone that has some 'tack'. Raw silicone sheet can be purchased from Amazon. I've also used a dashboard anti-slip pad from Handstands. It works noticeably better than silicone sheet I've tried but it tears more easily.For this magnet, cut a 1.5" circle, apply to the magnet surface with or without adhesive and you're done. Once attached, these go from very strong and high performing magnets to very strong and insanely slip resistant magnets. So much so that on a high iron content steel surface, I had concern that I'd damage or break the magnets due to the force I had to apply to remove them. I wasn't able to slide them off the surface to break them free. I was able to pull them off finally but not without some long lasting soreness later in my forefinger knuckle joint. Probably best to use large pliers to grab the carabiner and then slide or pull it off.On horizontal surfaces, there's little benefit from using silicone pads aside from providing some scratch resistance for the magnet surface and the surface it's being applied to. On horizontal surfaces, there's probably a bit less hold with pads but barely worth mentioning with magnets of this strength.I haven't had these long enough to comment on durability and rust resistance but the workmanship and materials are superficially impressive. The magnet housing appears to be stainless steel but the advertising says it's plated. I think the original advertising said it was stainless - not sure.I don't know if the 140lb claim is accurate. Advertised magnet strength is almost always unsubstantiated for inexpensive consumer level magnets and probably exaggerated by some unethical suppliers. I have no reason to believe this supplier is anything but above board but personally, 140lb's seems like a stretch especially in the real world where conditions will vary. I'd estimate that I used at least 50lb's of force when removing the one I described above.Bottom line, I probably wouldn't use these as fishing magnets or otherwise outside in an unprotected environment. Based on other customer reviews, they don't appear to be rust resistant. In an inside environment, they have aged well and are more than suited for hanging things like daypacks, heavy coats and other somewhat heavy objects. Good product, happy customer.

I love these magnets. The magnets have a small, sturdy rotating ring on them that works perfectly as an anchor for nylon ties. Normally that ring has a carbiner looped through it. The magnets also included large keyrings which could be used in combination with the carbiners (or to replace them.) Plus, there are stickers to put on the magnetic side so it doesn't scratch the finish of painted steel. These extras make these magnets one of the most flexible ways to attach a wide variety of things to any ferrous metal, like steel. Another place I'm using them is in the workshop. I can attach tools, fixtures, jigs, extra extension cords, and documentation to each shop tool. I also have steel storage shelves suspended from my ceiling. With these magnets, I can hang things from the underside of those shelves. Most recently, I used them to hold the wiring harness for the lights on a painted steel trailer. There is no way these will vibrate loose while driving down the road. They are stuck to that frame as if they were bolted on. When I got my first batch of these magnets, I tested them by hooking my gigantic fully-filled 64-ounce stainless steel water bottle to the carbiner and sticking the magnet to the underside of a steel table. The magnet held the bottle more securely than I hold it. I was amazed. Most of the other magnets I've purchased seemed wildly over-rated on holding power. These seem a lot more powerful than those other magnets. Are they 140 lb.? I don't know. Perhaps they are, but only in laboratory conditions while attached to pure iron. In the real world, these would more likely support around 50 lbs. when placed on steel. The others I've bought in the past were lucky to support maybe 10% of their rated holding strength on a good day. I only order magnets from Ant Mag now, because the magnets seem to be higher quality and more powerful than what other vendors are selling. Plus, I get them very quickly. In the past few months, I've placed several orders for multiple boxes of these and all of them have been excellent. I seem to discover new uses for these magnets every few days. Highly recommended!

Excellent quality. Durable swivel and clip. Very strong magnet.

The things you can do with this simple tool is great, I place one at my refrigerator and take one to the gym. The magnet is strong enough and it’s well made.

I used one of these to hang a large wind chime from my steel patio beams. Works great and do not move even in the heaviest of winds we’ve had.

I have ordered these several times. I find a hundred uses for them. I use them in my service van, garage, on the job. The magnets are very strong. If stuck on a heavy piece of steel, they can be hard to remove with one hand. I often resort to sticking a screwdriver in the carabiner to give me something to grab in order to pull the magnet off. Great product.

These are strong magnets. I always take a few with me when I go on a cruise. The ship is all steel of course, so these are great to have. I could easily hang my tuxedo on a good hanger along with a couple of shirts. You know how it is trying to put stuff on your lapel when it's in the closet. This made it easy to prepare my jacket before I put it on. My wife hung her formals out in spaces against a blank wall. Also stuck one to the door to remember to take our fanny packs and so on.At home, I use these on the steel entry to the garage. I can hang all kinds of stuff. A word of caution: These are STRONG magnets. You'll want to use the included protective strips to prevent damage to what you stick them to. They are really strong. The D-rings are also quite strong solid aluminum since Steel is magnetic. The spring is good so far. They came in a box that I used to keep them in my suitcase, but they did erase my room key. I'd keep them away from your wallet!

As mentioned above this is my 3rd order of these and probably going to get some more. They are great for folks like me with motorhomes.

Not cheap, but you certainly get what you pay for. Great addition to the camper van and I’ve already been using them lots. I can hang two quite heavy towels from one hook and they don’t budge. Certainly getting another pair!

These are great and more than strong enough to hang a calender!

Bought these to help keep our awning in place on our campervan. Used them for the first time when camping in Wales and on the first night we had a severe weather warning for rain and extreme winds. As you can see, Our awning suffered. But these super strong magnets actually held it in place! They didn’t budge! I’m pretty certain we’d have lost the awning if it wasn’t for the magnets. I bought 4 and I’m about to buy some more as I also discovered they are strong enough to stick to the inside of the van which has insulation and carpeted walls. So used them for holding up decorations too. All in all, they are my new essential item for camping. Strong, durable and worth the money. Oh, and despite being strong, you can pull them off easily too without damaging the paintwork etc.

I had a couple of expensive guns fall out of a secure gun cabinet; I use rifles to shoot paper targets and the only animals I shoot are with an SLR camera with a long lens!I couldn’t figure out how to ensure that these expensive items couldn’t fall when I opened the door. It was only after considering all of the options that I thought magnets! I have fixed these items onto the inside of the steel cabinet, one on each side of the door and connected a chain between the two. They are extremely “powerful†and probably much more powerful than what I need and therefore after deciding that I should also secure each gun, I opted to purchase some other magnet hooks, less powerful for each gun.I can honestly say that the magnetic strength is high, to remove them you have to slide them off the fixing point, of if like me you have a ledge, level them off or if you have one, place a magnet on the opposite side with reverse polarity; easier said than done.
