yea, i think graingers p/n is 2VAF2. I think if the other retail stores mentioned here dont work out, then this grainger item will be the one. I am guessing 3 of these neos should be good enough for my cortech mini tank bag.
yep those are the ones i buy at work... they are nasty suckers handle with extreme care especially if you have 2 out at the same time, thei come together hard enought to shatter or break fingers or draw blood if they pinch you
I just have to put in a plug here for the official online mad science warehouse, United Nuclear. The ones you probably want (2 x 1/4") are around $18 there.
They also sell death ray parts, uranium, and caffeinated soap, just in case you needed something to do over the weekend.
If you've not found any magnets yet, I have a pile of hard drives I need to destroy for work. I can pull some magnets out for you. These are pretty strong for their size. Not sure how many pounds they hold, but I'm betting they'd hold a tank bag on.
I think those are usually neodymium magnets, too. My brother has a couple on his refrigerator: they're crescent shaped, so maybe a little hard to work with, but very strong, definitely in the "finger-eating" category.
I have not picked up the neo magnets from Grainger yet, so I may take you harddrive guys up on your offer....how big are the magnets inside the drive ?
I gutted a bunch of hard drives today. I have good news and bad news.
The good news is I have about a dozen magnets. The bad news is, they seems to be impossible to get off the metal mounts. I shattered one magnet and cut-up my hand trying to get one off the mount. Usually they just pop right off when you whack it with a screw driver.
The magnet part is the crescent that's held in place with pins.
They are here if you want them, otherwise they go to the recycler on Wednesday.
smurph - thanks for that link, if the harddrive magnets don't work out, I think that is a good alternative.
