Gold Plated Magnet With Dimple On North Face - 12mm Dia X 2mm Thick - Pack Of 10 - FIRST4MAGNETS
These high-performance industrial strength magnets, a fraction of the price of lesser quality magn...These high-performance industrial strength magnets, a fraction of the price of lesser quality magnets sold elsewhere, are commonly used for pain relief for conditions such as arthritis, back pain, and carpal tunnel syndrome. The north pole, conveniently marked with a dimple, is applied to the skin and held in place with surgical tape or plaster. These small magnets can easily be stitched into clothing. They are securely packed in a tumbler first4magnets marked box with a velvet marked brochure for your peace of mind. Each pack contains 10 magnets. They feature premium gold plating and easily identifiable poles, with the north pole marked by a dimple. These rare earth magnets can support a steel weight of up to 1.2kg vertically from the magnetic face when in flush contact with a mild steel surface of equal thickness. Specifications: 12mm diameter x 2mm thick.
This guide is for individuals seeking versatile, high-strength magnets for personal use, particularly for pain relief applications or crafting. The key benefit is their industrial strength and premium gold plating at a fraction of the cost of comparable magnets, with a caveat that detailed scientific evidence for pain relief is not provided here. This pack contains 10 gold-plated, rare earth magnets, each 12mm in diameter and 2mm thick, featuring a dimple on the North face for easy identification and application.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
How do I attach the magnet to my skin for pain relief?
The North pole, marked with a dimple, should be placed against the skin. Secure it using standard surgical tape or hypoallergenic plaster.
Can these magnets be stitched into clothing?
Yes, their slim profile (2mm thick) makes them suitable for being carefully stitched into fabric for discreet application.
What is the weight capacity of each magnet?
Each magnet can support a steel weight of up to 1.2kg vertically when in flush contact with a mild steel surface of equal thickness.
How should I store these magnets?
It is best to store them in their original FIRST4MAGNETS marked box, ideally separated or with a protective layer between them to prevent strong attraction and potential damage.
Are these magnets safe for long-term skin contact?
While commonly used for pain relief, ensure the skin is clean and dry before application, and use appropriate medical tape. Discontinue use if any irritation occurs.
What is the difference between the North and South poles?
The North pole is marked with a dimple for easy identification. For applications like pain relief, the North pole is typically applied to the skin.
Do these magnets come with instructions for pain relief?
The magnets come with a velvet marked brochure. Specific therapeutic protocols are not included, as applications vary by individual need.
Troubleshooting
Magnets not attracting strongly
Ensure the magnet is in direct, flush contact with a ferrous (iron or steel) surface. Clean both surfaces to remove any debris. Check that the correct pole is being used if a specific interaction is intended.
Gold plating tarnishing
Gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture or harsh chemicals.
Dimple marking is unclear
Carefully inspect the magnet under good lighting. If still unclear, test attraction to a known magnet to identify poles.
Magnets sticking together too strongly
Slide magnets apart rather than pulling directly. Use a thin piece of material (like cardboard) between them when storing if needed.
Pros and Cons
Pros
High magnetic strength for their size.
Cost-effective compared to other high-quality magnets.
Easy pole identification via the North face dimple.
Durable and attractive gold plating.
Versatile for multiple applications including personal use and crafting.
Cons
Specific scientific claims regarding pain relief are not substantiated within this guide.
Requires separate adhesive (surgical tape or plaster) for skin application.
Small size may be a limitation for heavy-duty industrial applications.
Requires careful handling due to strong magnetic force.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Identify the North pole using the dimple marking.
For pain relief applications, attach the North pole to the skin using medical-grade surgical tape or plaster.
For crafting, use fabric glue, stitching, or appropriate adhesives to affix magnets to materials.
Compatibility:
These magnets are designed to attract ferromagnetic materials like iron and steel.
They are ideal for use with mild steel surfaces of equal thickness for maximum holding power.
Keep away from sensitive electronic devices, magnetic media, and pacemakers.
Care:
Wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Store in the provided FIRST4MAGNETS box to prevent scratching and demagnetization.
Handle with care to avoid pinching fingers, as the magnetic force is considerable.
