The Complete Handbook of Craft Magnets

Craft magnets are deceptively simple—a small metal disk or bar that holds things together—but their performance varies wildly based on material grade, size, surface treatment, and application context. Most buyers choose magnets by trial and error, or rely on vague marketing claims. This handbook cuts through that uncertainty.

Written for art educators, studio managers, craft business owners, hobbyists, and supply resellers, The Complete Handbook of Craft Magnets provides concrete specifications, real-world selection criteria, and practical troubleshooting guidance. You'll learn what actually matters when comparing magnets (pull force, grade rating, coativity), how to diagnose why a magnet fails in a specific use case, how to source reliably at scale, and where the market is moving. Every chapter is grounded in the specific needs of professionals who depend on consistent, predictable magnetic performance—not marketing-speak or abstract theory.

Whether you're building a product line that incorporates magnets, managing institutional supplies, or troubleshooting performance problems in ongoing use, this handbook gives you the reference material and decision frameworks you need.
