Not doubting your word, but prices would be good to back the claim Peter?

JAG Sign Supplies will do magnets from £2.50 each.
I personally use the more expensive ones they have at £7.90. have about 10 in my box now and come in very handy.

PIKEY Solution…..

Break open old hard drives pull out the magnets and cover with proper thick vinyl tape.

[Ian Davies 2011]

MDP supplies do the similar style as JAG for £5.95 a pair or £4.95 for 5 pairs plus.

Rob Cherwell price for the same mag as Jag, is £3.80each
jag sell them in pairs for £7.90 so Cherwell is cheaper for the same product by 30p

not a lot , but if you buy 10, a bit of a saving.
this is their "book" price, but ask nicely and they will better other quotes

I bought them from JAG but make sure you buy the ones with the handles rather than the circular ones. Much better grip.

[Robert Lambie]

thank you peter… reads better now.

so cheaper than JAG "like-for-like" on the "more expensive" handled magnets. not necessarily sell the cheapest vinyl magnets available…

i agree, handled ones are better Nick.
RHG do magnets as do Wm Smiths. i do not know the costs though…
best bet is to shop round all those listed, but ide stress on going with the handled ones.

[Peter Normington]

Rob for Cheapest, add like for like, I was comparing all that had been mentioned before,

the "strongest" magnets that I have used from "sign" suppliers are the avery ones
but they have little knobs to pull at, the long handled ones are a bit weaker in strength, but more practical to us, apart from holding the vinyl in place, they are good for hanging tools on, "scissors masking tape etc,"

Peter, I think it’s the little knob ones that I have :lol1:

Nowt wrong with little knobs, but some people like something to get hold of

Peter

[Nick Monir]

Might have something to get hold of but they’re weaker in strength 😀

Are you being a knob knocker Nick? 😀 (try saying that quick! 🙂

[Nick Monir]

All I said was I recommended the ones you could get a good firm grip of! Peter started the comparison thingy! 😮

[Lorraine Clinch]

Well I have both types, but prefer the ones with the longer handle, as Peter said, very handy to hang things off, the others are too short!

😀

This is all getting a bit out of hand now :police:

I’m sure a lot of it is temperature dependant
(are we talking knobs or Nipples 😕 )

Longer handle ones aren’t good to use to create a center hinge. They get in the way.

[Steve McAdie]

I bought the avery ones from RHG they were £20 per pair, they have a very strong grip.

I wouldn’t trust them enough to use as a centre hinge anyway, masking tape for that job!

I bought 28mm diam. magnets from Staples for about £4.00 for 6. They work fine.
