    My FIL almost got me tickets to this for Christmas because he knew I was interested in Chinese culture. It was a really sweet gesture from someone who didn't know better, but I am so glad he got me a 100lb magnet instead.

        Yeah like is it 100lbs, or can it hold up 100lbs? I'm intrigued by this magnet.

          It can hold up to 100lbs! Thankfully, the magnet itself weighs significantly less. I use it to fish garbage out of the creak, mostly, but sometimes you find something cool like a pocket knife or an old BB gun. My goal is to learn to weld so I can use some of the more interesting chunks of metal that I pull for art projects.

        The magnet itself only weighs about a tenth of that, but it supposedly can lift 100lbs! I drag it across local creaks, ponds and quarries. Haven't found any 100lb pieces of lake garbage yet, but I am absolutely looking forward to the day it happens.
