Tightening the locking nut was extremely difficult using a stainless steel spanner, I really should have seen that coming and found a non-magnetic one 😅

The Barbarian makes the little Hardcore look like a kids toy. I just hope I don’t get it stuck to a harbour wall or steel bridge when I get to take it for a spin!

    You think that’s bad, imagine two (or more) of these things getting stuck together…

    I’m the technical director at a small community theatre that just finished a run of The Play That Goes Wrong. It’s a supposedly dramatic murder mystery where virtually anything that can go wrong does just that to hilarious effect. Among other things everything from portraits to sconces to window curtains fall off the walls at various times. We used roughly a dozen of these types of magnets backstage to hold the various objects up, and stagehands would pull the magnets when things needed to fall. We had to be very careful not to let the magnets get too close to one another… It happened more than once and was quite difficult to pull them apart.
