Are the magnets strong enough to hold the level against a 3/4" thick painted steel post when rotated out?

Depends on the thickness, shape, and type of steel: with some posts they will suffice. But if it's a round post with no flat surface, maybe not.. Another of my reviews is of a clever little tripod that includes a velcro strap so it can be attached to a post or tree; that's my solution to this issue.

I don't think so. The magnets just work to find the drywall screws that have been hidden under thin layer of paper and spackle. But they do that pretty well. It would be great for locating the studs so that you can attach the braced that hold the cabinets, but not through extra layers of material. I would recommend buying extra magnets. This is a good gadget for your toolbox, and not to expensive either.

Probably not. I used 4 sets of them on a shelf that is 3/4" & they are nice and secure.

I think they would be very strong. I only have 1 of these magnets, and it is very powerful. If I stick it to a metal door jam or metal pipe, it is EXTREMELY difficult to remove. I have placed a metal file on top of a 3/4" thick c-top and with the magnet on the underside of the top it moves the file easily. I've also stuck it to my 24' tape measure hanging on my jean pocket and then stuck my 18 volt Hitachi cordless drill to "It". Just examples of how powerful this magnet is. I use it to find metal studs in the wall for installing cabinets in the commercial field, and absolutely love it. I don't know if this helps you but with the 2 magnets pulling toward each other on the 1" glass with the pad between, I think it would work.

Yes, the round ends in the picture are the magnets and they're quite strong too. They swivel so the hooks can be mounted to a horizontal surface. See my review for more details.

I would say it would hold it in place. These are very strong just make sure you have something under the magnet to keep it from scratching your paint.

Yes, a magnetic extension will hold these fine. I know they may look like pot or white metal, but they are made of steel and have held up real well even in my impact driver.

I would say strong enough to hold when full of binder clips, paperclips, or other objects that might have some heft. Strength in magnets is a little hard to measure for these, but I use mine for a spice rack and I never worry about them falling off, even when nudged accidentally. Hope that helps.

These are held to a flat steel "donut" of metal which is itself attached to the mounting surface with a pair of screws. The magnet holds to the steel by only the magnetic pull itself, but that attraction is VERY strong! I suspect, if you are very careful, you may be able to slip a flat-blade screwdriver or strong putty knife under the lip of the magnet, between the magnet and the wall, and pry it away from the steel backing plate it is attracted to. I would caution you in this! There is a very good chance you will damage the wall beneath the magnet, where you are prying against it! The attraction between magnet and plate is that strong! Also, be wary of your fingers when trying to slip your prying device under the lip of the magnet; you will need to use a lot of pressure, and if it slips, it could stab into something! The attraction between that magnet and the metal plate behind it is so strong, I can't think of any way you could simply grab it and pull it away. Perhaps with a suitable clamp, or a very large pair of vice grips? But you're likely to mar the surface of the magnet if you aren't careful. Once you have the magnet pulled away from the backing plate, those can simply be unscrewed from the wall they are attached to.

I think they will be strong enough. I am using ceramic pieces glued to some of them and they are holding strong. I mostly am crocheting little miniature hats and dresses for them, but having no trouble with the heavier ceramic pieces. They are holding stronger than any magnets I have ever used. Hope this helps.

Since this is a magnetic sheet other magnets may stick to it, but they may not as well. It depends on how the polarity is oriented between the two. You would be better off with a sheet of steel, a magnetic white board, or using some of the magnetic paint.

No. I tried that hoping it would work on the side of my safe and it isn't strong enough for that. I bought a couple rare earth magnets that are supposed to show up this week that i am hoping will do that. however i am very happy with this product and would definitely recommend it.

I'm afraid it depends on the strength of the magnet. A decent magnet should.

I agree with Darrell B. If they are mounted securely they would hold. It would also depend where the main point of the weight was placed and how long your shelf is. A normal shelf with a regular weight spread would cause no problems.

Unless it's a sharp and short corner, this should work, it's a pretty strong magnet - so the slant should also be metal.

Well, you would have to have the polar opposite of this magnet for those to work with what you want. You might be better off using just a piece of metal available at your local hardware store (Home Depot).

interesting Q.... I just tried mine (not yet mounted) and yes it grabbed very well to the metal refrig side. It would probably take the magnet with it tho' as you draw. I'd use a couple small screwsShould work fine. The magnets are VERY powerful. I have two I just received and they will leap together and would nip a fingertip off if you are not careful.Steve
