But we’re betting you’ll fall in love with these magnets, and a team of wild horses couldn’t get them out of your hands and make you send them back. In accordance with Amazon strong magnet policy, these magnets are not strong magnets because the exposed portion of these magnets all have a north polarity, which allows the magnets to adhere strongly to metal but have a weak connection to each other (flux between magnets is less than 50 kG2mm2). Don’t use those dangerous “tacks” that ruin walls and poke feet and fingers! Each magnet in this 50-piece set lets you stick 11 (ELEVEN) sheets of paper on any metallic surface. Use the bright, vivid colors in this attractive collection so you can “color code” your projects – or just make your office and home look bright and cheery! You can send them back for a full, complete refund of every penny you paid!

"Nice size magnets for the refrigerator or anything magnetic."
"They were delivered timely and work great on my magnetic dry erase board."
"(150 is not as many as it sounds since a few are broken (magnets fall out), and they tend to disappear). Some magnets fell out, but even if you have to trash 10-20%, it's still a great value."

They're at the other link (a little more expensive, but if you hate the tape screech noise... check it out). Scotch Sure Start Shipping Packaging Tape with Refillable Dispenser, 1.88 in x 38.2 yd (3450S-RD) (These are 38.2 yard on the larger roll - just less tape than the normal large roll)."
"Unlike other people let me start by saying that I bought this item at full price and received no compensation for writing this review.i do a lot of packaging and this tape is tough, I have gone thru several rolls and it did not tear on me and get stuck on the roll like other brands, when taping boxes it is tough and sticks well, each roll is ready to go on its own dispenser, a winner product ..."
"I always take the paper place holder out of the area by the cutter, but I can never thread the tape INTO that same location, which would hold the tape in place."
"(Those may be better for large boxes or people with large hands, but I find this tape with the cutting edge built-in to the roll to work better for me.)."
"In all of the years I've been shipping I've only had one bad batch (and I've been through a lot of tape) and the company easily fixed my problem. Don't be lured to by some of the other cheap tapes if you really want to make sure your packages arrive to their destination!"
"However, with six rolls of tape, I can do more than just pack and wrap leftover yard sale items offered to unsuspecting online shoppers."
"I've gone cheap a few times and tried out different brands from the dollar store or other stores with cheap, off-brand tape, and I have regretted it every time!"

"Used this along with corrugated plastic sheets to construct a whelping box that could easily be torn down and moved/stored."
"If you need good velcro with a powerfully sticky backside... this is it."
"I use this to attach hard drives underneath a desk, I'm not worrried about it falling off, on worries about breaking something as I pull it away."
"I needed to connect a padded seat cushion to my cooler/seat on my boat."
"The manufacturers need to take note: a roll of industrial strength velcro requires industrial strength glue for backing."
"I tried to stick this to the paint....it's november, so the porch has def had time to cure. I guess this just wont stick well to a painted surface."
"The only way to apply this Velcro product would be to sew on item which I'll do later on another project."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"I got this glue gun to wrap up my Halloween costume, I would have gotten my money's worth if it had broken straight afterwards, but with two sticks Ive done that, fixed my sandals, fixed a loose desk leg, and a loose drawer, & its still going strong. Most projects you would use one for will have you working with pretty flammable materials, a traditional gun plugs in to power the gun, then heats up for the entire time you have it plugged in, and many don't feature the nice little stand this one has, so putting it down hastily to go finish your cooking, not such a good plan."
"This glue gun comes with 25 glue sticks, which, in my opinion, is enough to last a lifetime!"
"Many other small glue guns do not have these features and I find it to be time saving where you can just switch it off without having to unplug it."
"Also, since the "kickstand" is about as thick as a paperclip, it is very movement sensitive and will easily knock over if your table or surface isn't 100% solid and still. My pink one is a small $3.00 one from the craft store cashier's counter that I grabbed when I let a friend borrow my heavier duty blue one on the right side of the picture. I do wish the kickstand was a little more sturdy or for the hand grip to have some sort of flat standing support, like my larger glue gun has. I have been shopping on Amazon for 10 years and utilize the information given in reviews to help me decide if I would like to purchase an item. I strive to give as detailed information as I can while writing about my experiences to help you decide if this product might be what you are looking for."
"This glue gun is perfect for the price!"
"Used this glue gun many many times."

"You may wonder, what's the difference between glue-all and school glue?"
"Seriously though IF you have a kid who can actually come home with a bottle that needs refilling, & have room to store this big bottle (which surprisingly you will not actually need for anything around the house as long as it is in the pantry, and not until you run out) then buy it, because it does in the long run save you money; However if you have one of those kids (I have a couple) who just can not seem to hold onto a bottle of glue long enough to get a refill, and you’re not making that “slime” whith the starch mixture then a gallon of school glue is overkill!"
"Elmer's glue is pretty consistent and always performs as I expected it will."
"And with the slime craze, this was just a logical purchase to make a little girl very happy at Christmas time."
"Great price my daughter had this gone in less than a week after Christmas she had probably a hundred and 50 jars of slime made we had slime everywhere she loves it will be purchasing these again."
"second time order 2 gallons at a time."
"When I opened the box the glue was every where."

Find Best Price at Amazon"Inserting the needle with the hollow side lined up with the opening on the gun (opposite side of the dial). 3. Put the paper tag on the needle or holding the paper tag with the hole lined up with where you want the barb/plastic piece to go in. Pierce through the paper tag and the tag on the clothes until it comes out on the other size or where you want the back end of the barb to be (sometimes you can get it between layers if you want, but it's a little tricky). Sometimes when I'm starting a new strand I have to pull the trigger twice to like prime the gun, but I think that's only if I don't get the strand pushed down in the gun enough. I bought this because I was tagging about clothing 300-500 items for a garage sale. Having prices on each item this year was awesome. I made a cardboard sign that said "clothing prices on tag" and on the reverse side it said "clothing half off" for later in the day."
"The tag would shoot out, but wouldn't go through the clothes. Having never used a tagging gun before, I didn't realize that you have to push the needle ALL the way through the tag and the clothes so it is flush and tight up against the base of the gun."
"when the pricing gun arrived, it took me a bit of time to realize that the tags had several rows attached together before I could get the gun loaded."
"I purchased this item to assist my employer with tagging incoming merchandise for their online boutique."
"If you are having a garage sale do yourself a favor and buy this tagging gun."
"It's a nice little gizmo to have on hand for consignment sales, yard sales, and so forth."
"I find this gun to be easy to use- I don't have to refer to the instruction booklet every time I need to reload tags, or change pins for delicate or heavy fabrics- which is a really big deal for me."

"Not only is it the most heavy duty packing tape I've worked with, but it's easy to work with and tears easily enough on a thrice-reused single use packing tape cutter."
"Here in Florida it's hard to find good tape that stays stuck in our humid climate, but this stuff does the job perfectly!"
"My wife and I are at it again, and just like last year we're relying on Duck HP260 tape to help us get to our new home. We have used a lot of different brands of packaging tape."
"Before I tried this tape I had bought the 3M tape 4-pack on Amazon and this tape puts it to shame!"
"I put some of this tape over & around my open lotion & other pump bottles to prevent leakage or spills- not one leak occurred, for the first time ever during a move to a new home. I will never use any other tape to send things off in the mail, pack boxes up for a move or close products tight without spillage or leaking."
