We considered starting this description by explaining how magnets work. But having consulted the brains down in the Firebox lab and thumbed through a few encyclopedias, we're none the wiser. All this physics business is far too complicated, not to mention boring. Magnets are fascinating, mysterious and fun, let's leave it at that.
Speaking of magnet-related fun, the amazing All Mighty Magnet is one of the most entertaining and useful little gizmos we've seen in ages. It might not look as powerful as the one Wile E. Coyote used to mess with, and it isn't even U-shaped, but this sleek little cube of chromed metal is awesomely all-mighty.
About the size of a sugar cube, the All Mighty Magnet can easily hold 36 sheets of paper on a vertical metal surface, and trying to shift it from objects such as radiators or filing cabinets without sliding it off the edge is seriously difficult.
Place the All Mighty Magnet anywhere near a pile of iron filings and it will lure them onto its surface faster than you can say 'SGR 1806-20'. And if you're wondering what that is, it's the rather unsnazzy name for the neutron star that scientists think is the most magnetic object in the known universe. Thankfully, unlike the aforementioned interplanetary thingamabob, the All Mighty Magnet won't rearrange the molecules in your body. What it will do, however, is provide you with hours of magnet-based amusement.

Presented in a cool plexiglass presentation box - securely held in the middle to prevent it from interfering with its immediate surroundings - the All Mighty Magnet's strength-to-size ratio is truly astonishing, and it's perfect for securing bundles of notes and photos, messing about with at work, or even picking up metal-mouthed James Bond villains by the teeth. If you want. This really is one of the most attractive and compelling little things we've ever seen. Literally!

Mighty little bugger that will bring your hours of either magnetic addiction or painful experience to remove it. It gives me the idea to experiment my urge to destroy those ipod morons' headphone/hard drives whom play their tune loud on the tube! Just hide the little bugger discreetly in my palm.... .
Keith, London - May '07 |
Very strong! do not put on braces, VERY painful!!!! xx.
Firebox says: Ouchy Amy - thanks for the heads up!
But seriously, please DO NOT put the all mighty magnet anywhere near your mouth. Magnets can really harm your health if swallowed.

I have just ordered this.
Must say that I am beginning to wonder whether its size is on a par with the average male brain. Radiators guys??? Use some imagination please!

I used the All Mighty Magnet with my Black Attractions Thinking Putty.
Odd effect! Give it a try, Firebox! Oh and the magnet is great too.

Much saller than you think it would be. Very strong (dont get it stuck on a radiator or leave it near a TV 'cus it will really mess it up). It is excellent at cheating on those 2p machines at the arcades. It is strong enough to get through the glass and pull over those 2ps that you lose down the side...

It's one hell of a magnet, thats for sure. It sticks to anything metal with a nice *clang* and generally, is a good magnet.
However, on reflection, there's only so much you can do with a magnet!
Firebox says: Fair enough Dingo. You have to agree it's still pretty "mighty"... :)
Dingo, Lincolnshire, England - Jun '06 |
This is amazing!! Not as powerful as I thought it would be but it is much smaller than I thought. For its size its very powerful.
I've got one piece of advice for anyone who buys this:- Dont get it stuck down the back of a radiator! Its hard to get out, believe me! ;).
Andrew, High Wycombe - May '06 |
Amazing, can even lift my log cutting axe with ease, although don't get it stuck to a radiator. Brilliant buy as always from firebox.

 | Magna Cube
This lip-bitingly complex puzzle is crafted from eight wooden pieces containing strategically placed magnets. Simply assemble the whole shebang into a cube and you’re a regular Einstein. Sound easy? Well it’s not, because some sections repel while others attract. Aargh!

 | Desktop Warfare Kits
They won't obliterate castle walls or settle sieges, but our desktop Trebuchets and Ballistas are more than capable of causing mayhem in the office. What's more, assembling your ultra realistic wooden thingy flinger is almost as satisfying as watching it sling its payload at the boss.
