You are buying ONE Magnet.
Size: 1.5 inch diameter x 1/2 inch thick discs.
Nickel (Ni) Plated (silver-like shine)
Grade: N48 - Extremely powerful magnetic material
Pull Force is approximately 73.4 pounds against a 1" steel plate
NEODYMIUM MAGNETS ARE NOT SAFE FOR CHILDREN
These discs are axially magnetized, so the strong North/South poles are in the center of the flat sides.
That makes them easier to stack into a cylinder than to connect side by side.
***WARNING***
These are Very Powerful Magnets!
Magnets of this size and strength can pull metals objects to them when brought too close.
Two magnets of this size will fly together with great force and can easily pinch fingers and skin.
DO NOT allow children to play with these magnets. They are simply too strong.
Also, even though these magnets are coated with tough nickel metal, all neodymium magnets can chip and break. The larger the magnet, the easier this can happen.
When placing a magnet on metal, try to ease it onto the surface. If it "flys" onto it, it can shatter. Trust me, I know from experience. Please excercise caution and planning when using these magnets and they can serve you for a lifetime (and without bruises) :-)
