Description
Ideal for metal recyclers, brokers, antique buyers, collectors, or anyone that needs a convenient, easy-to-carry magnet to test for iron, nickel, or cobalt content.
Identify fake/plated jewelry, which often has steel or nickel alloys as the base material (some alloys, like nickel-silver and German silver are non-magnetic, despite having ferrous metals present). Generally, the magnet test is only the first test performed, before density and acid testing.
Identify/sort chrome plated items from polished aluminum, silver, and non-magnetic grades of stainless steel (chrome plating requires a nickel layer, which is magnetic).
Identify and sort solid brass and bronze from steel-plated items (handy in the antique market and hardware store).
Features a durable N50 12mm neodymium magnet housed in a nickel-plated metal shell, it holds over 2.5 pounds. Dimensions: 0.47 inches wide at its widest point x 1.57 inches long (12 x 40 mm)
