MS Plus Alu-Mags - Spring 2013

MagScapes have created Alu-Mags as a range of oversize aluminium cast magnets.

The idea being that if you have a large receptive display area, you need magnets:
- that are large enough to use on a large space
- are easy to grip
- that do not distract the eye from the display
- are powerful enough to hold range of materials
- are tactile to use

Alu-Mags have a simple skittle shape for easy and safe use.

Using aluminium for lightness, strength and aesthetic appeal - these magnets will have nickel coated neodymium magnet (1.5kg pull force) secured into the base to make them strong enough to hold large photos, charts and plans on walls.

Note: Aluminium is a non magnetic material which makes these magnets easier to pack, store, handle and use.


Smaller size: 19mm diameter x 25mm height
Larger size: 33mm diameter x 60mm height

MS Plus: Alu-Mags are due to arrive in Spring 2013...prices to be confirmed.

More from Etsy

A site that promotes hand made items - not cheap but innovative - like these cool gear magnets...


This listing is for one (1) of the sets pictured. Please indicate which set you would like at checkout (set A, set B, set C, or set D). If you do not indicate which set you would like, a random set will be selected.

Each set includes:
1 - 2.75in gear
1 - 2.5in gear
1 - 2in gear
2 - 1.75in gears

Magnetic steampunk inspired gears are modeled on a functionally accurate involute spur gear pattern. Each gear is free spinning and meshes properly with every other gear. All gears can be meshed and will turn if one gear is turned.

Gear bases include a Neodymium (NdFeB) super magnet to hold it securely to any magnetic surface. People love to play with these when they see them on your refrigerator. (Please be aware that some refrigerators are made of non magnetic stainless steel and as such these magnets will not stick or will stick very weakly.)

These magnets are listed as toys but are NOT RECOMMENDED FOR CHILDREN as they contain small parts that can detach if mistreated.

Please allow up to 2 weeks for delivery. Most items ship in 2-3 days.

Cribs: Hilary Duff Spills The Details On Her Nursery

Our MS Plus Liner helps designer Sian Zeng make a magnetic wallpaper for celebrity mother to be...


Hilary Duff and husband Mike Comrie are getting ready to welcome a baby boy in March of 2012, and by the sound of his nursery preparations he's going to have quite the crib for his crib.
Mom-to-be Hilary says she is having "so much fun" decorating her future son's nursery. "I just remodeled the house so it was kind of perfect," she tells Us. "My decorator found this wallpaper – this girl in England does it – and it's magnetic! It has all of these adorable characters, so you can move them around on the wall and stuff."
"There are flying pigs and little clouds, and you can write stuff inside the clouds. It's adorable! It's really, really cute," the Lizzie McGuire actress continued. "I know he won't be able to play with that for awhile, but when he's old enough, I guess we'll have to instill not drawing on the walls! But he can move the characters around the walls instead."

Sian's designs will be shown soon...
