"So Much Magnetic Force Under Control. Very Cool!"

I have started producing tools for the safe handling of large Neodymium Magnets. These tools are made of Red Oak with solid brass hardware and are finished with a protective coat of polyurethane. 

"Neo Rocker", "Neo Shears" and "Neo Rocker II"

My Large Neodymium Magnet Handling Tools are Now Available for Sale.

"Neo Rocker"

The 2" by 2" by 1" thick N42 block has a pull force of 325 pounds. The "Neo Rocker" has no problem removing it from the iron plate using less than 25 pounds of force. Notice that at no time are my hands exposed to danger. There are grooves in the grasping surfaces to center and align disk and cylinder Neos. I found a source for cute little 7/16" wrenches. Best of all they are made of aluminum so you don't have to fight magnetic forces as you would with a steel wrench. I'm including one with each item purchased. Magnets should be 1/2" thick or more. The "Neo Rocker" is also useful for holding magnets, as small as a ½” dia. by ½” thick, firmly in place.

Each of these 2" by 2" by 1" thick N42 blocks has a pull force of 325 pounds. This means the 2 magnets have an attractive force of around 500 pounds. A pair of "Neo Rocker"s has no problems handling these monsters. One of my YouTube Subscribers commented, "So much magnetic force under control very cool". Hopefully it will become the standard for educational institutions where liability is a major concern as it helps keep fingers out of harms way.  The bench or tabletop is not really necessary. I frequently use my leg to "Break Suction", mainly because there is so much crap on my tables. This separation can also be preformed with a pair of “Neo Rocker II”s or 1 of each.

The "Neo Shears" uses a shearing action to quickly, easily and safely separate NIBs as large as 1 1/2".

The "Neo Rocker II" is a 2 fisted approach to handling large NIBs. It is ideal for Pull Force Experiments. Here a pair of 2" by 2" by 1" thick N42 NIBs is suspending a 25 lb. iron disk topped off with my 165 lbs. This is despite the fact that the magnets are sitting on a 1.125" dia. hole in the iron plate. Between the wood and the magnets are a couple of pieces of painter's tack cloth, a resin impregnated cheese cloth. This is to avoid slippage.

The video features my prototype. In the production model there are 2 sets of holes in the handles. The end holes are basically to hang it on a nail. The other holes, 2” from the end, are for a support bar (not supplied) for pull force experiments. I personally use a 4” long ¼”-20 steel bolt with a Stainless Steel 1/4"-20 w/ Nylon Insert Hex Nut. This is so I don’t have to fight any magnetic forces to put the nut on the bolt. There are grooves in the grasping surfaces to center and align disk and cylinder Neos. Included with each is a cute little 7/16" aluminum wrench so you don't have to fight magnetic forces while tightening. 

Don't let this happen to you.

This once pretty 2" disk is now it's a couple of ugly chunks.
This could have been avoided if I had just used a "Neo Rocker".
