Steel? How the eff does that work?

Neodymium is a chemical element with the symbol Nd and atomic number 60. It is a soft silvery metal that tarnishes in air [Wikipedia].

The magnets are usually nickel coated to prevent oxidation and chipping. I have a quite a collection that I've ripped out of old hard drives.

Side note, wrap them in a little duct tape and they make suburb fridge magnets (sans tape they tend to scratch up your fridge and are sometimes a little hard to get your fingers under).

Yeah I found this momentarily after posting that, but it doesn't show a close-up like in the intro to this video. Regardless, it just tends to shed some doubt on the honesty of this whole ad campaign. "Hey let's show this crowbar and make it look like we actually tried to blend one," and they even avoided doing it for that video.

I mean, sure, obviously it won't blend a crowbar, but then why have misleading shit like that? Why claim these magnets are really hard when in fact they're not? What else am I going to find that's questionable about this company's claims if I go looking?

Meh.
