Re: Magnets
I've found the IEC ones are quite good. I've ordered more of these and am waiting on them. Also, one of my teachers wanted a certain type of magnet and found a company, AMF Magnetics that have a huge range, although don't know the quality but suspect they may be better than some of the cheaper "school-type" ones.

Re: Magnets
Yes, Shelley, I've bought those and their neodymium magnets; both are good quality and value.

Re: Magnets
Good to get this info. The last lot of bar magnets I bought are absolutely hopeless so I have been reluctant to purchase more.

Re: Magnets
You can remagnetise old magnets with the neodymium magnets. I haven't actually tried it yet, but I saw it on YouTube. Maybe it'll work to strengthen the dodgy ones too. You can only try.
Re: Magnets
Yes it does work . We have a special re-magnetizer . it is a neodymium magnet moulded into a plastic handle .Just got to be careful which way you stroke the old bars otherwise you can make them the wrong polarity .
