      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.
