Magnets - anywhere to buy in canada

Princess auto in Coquitlam also sells rare earth magnets for fairly cheap...

Plus one for Lee Valley

Checked out princess auto and lee valley. I don't think any of there magnets are strong enough, I prob need about 60lbs pull force... Also would rather not have to coat them..

Same goes for Hagen glass cleaners..

How big is this frag rack?

[Ryan7]

It's not the size of the rack that is the issue, it's the 1" thick acrylic the magnet has to work through...

Ah. Ya, that would require something big.

So to be clear, it's the tank that's 1" thick?

Have you thought or tried using hard drive magnets? You might be able to score them, then break them to the size you need.

I've got 1/2 doz of them holding tools onto my tool box. Stick them on the inside and BAM! any steel tools stick to the outside of my tool box. Four of them in one spot holds a small steel tool box in place.
