What is Bulk Rate? BulkRate is a semi-wholesale system with items priced separately from retail. When you use bulk rates, a flat $1.70 registered air mail fee will automatically be added to your cart to ensure delivery of package. While BulkRate's intention is to offer cheaper prices when you buy in bulk, because it is priced separately it on occassions show a higher than retail price. That's why we ask you to enter BULKRATE as a coupon code to manually activate the rates. You can always opt not to use the bulk rates. If you are looking for wholesale prices please feel free to contact us.

Pros: These are some strong tiny magnets! 
They are strong for their size and are fun to mess around with.
 
Cons: They are pretty fragile but I've only broken 6-10 of them since I received them 3+ months ago and I've given them their fair share of abuse.
 
Other Thoughts: They are really small and I don't really know what you'd use them for. But I like messing around with them and for only ~$0.06 a magnet it's well worth it.
 
Bottomline: Buy them and who cares if you break a few because you have one hundred!!! These are well worth it! These are well worth it! These are well worth it! These are well worth it! BUY THEM NOW!!

Small and strong

Pros: These are quite small, and therefore not as strong as larger RE magnets that you might be used to.  However, they're exactly as strong as you should expect for their size.
I've been soldering wires to them and using them as magnetic contacts. Regular lead-tin solder holds well to them. The heat seems to do something to their polarity and strength, though.
 
Cons: RE magnets are kind of brittle and fragile.  But if you don't abuse them, they should be fine.
 
Other Thoughts:  
Bottomline: I bought a big stack of these for all sorts of purposes: magnetic electrical contacts, reed switch magnets, and to strengthen cabinet door magnets.  They turned out to be too weak to use with the cabinets, but they work for everything else.

A bit fragile, but strong

Pros: - They are strong.
- They are quite thin: just 1 milimeter. This can be an advantage or a problem, depending on your needs.
- They're fun to play with!
- You get a lot of them by a small price.
 
Cons: - It is very easy to break them while playing with them. From the 100-pack I've bought, I think I broke 8 of them in the first 2 days.
 
Other Thoughts:  
Bottomline: There are thicker magnets out there that are stronger than them. But for the purposes I needed them (sticking photos to a panel), they are just perfect.
