What is a Magnet?
A magnet is a material or object that produces a magnetic field.
This magnetic field is invisible but is responsible for the most notable property of a magnet: a force that pulls on other ferromagnetic materials, such as iron, steel, nickel, cobalt, etc. and attracts or repels other magnets.

What is the best magnet you can buy?
Neodymium magnets (also known as “NdFeB”, “Neo” or “NIB” magnets), are strong permanent magnets made from an alloy of neodymium, iron & boron. Part of the Rare-Earth magnet family, they have the highest magnetic properties of all permanent magnets.
What magnets last the longest?
With proper care and handling, neodymium magnets can last for decades or even longer. Their magnetic strength may degrade very slowly over time, but in many practical applications, they will remain effective for an extended period.
How long do magnets keep their power?
Your permanent magnet should lose no more than 1% of its magnetic strength over a period of 100 years provided it is specified and cared for properly.
