Looking for Refrigerator Magnets that work

If all else fails, rip open a broken/unusable hard drive and use the magnets within. Those are everlasting strong.

And speaker magnets are one of my old favorites. An old pair of large speakers that don't work any more will give you 2 of them. Be sure to pull them out before you toss the speakers in the trash.

Yes! I had forgotten about those "old" speakers, but I thought anything in the last twenty years used some other kind of fancy "quasi-electro-magnet" Do they still use real magnets in speakers nowadays?

I don't know. I haven't had any busted speakers large enough to be worth taking apart to find out, in about 25 years.

Your Honor, the prosecution rests. :P

I use salvaged doughnut shaped magnets from old microwave ovens for fridge magnets. They work best if covered in cloth or paper. They work for holding kitchen knives to the back of my electric range too.
