JC Hammer’s Cutting Edge Magnetic Hammer is designed to be used with metal or plastic cap nails, roofing nails and drawing nails. It has a built-in utility knife with an easily replaceable blade, while its magnetic hammer head has an integrated claw.

ADV.SOUND is competing with the likes of HiFiMan and Fostex in providing affordable planar magnetic headphones. The Advanced GT-R has an open back over-ear design and a 65mm planar magnetic driver, designed for crisp audio and an expansive soundstage.

Lochett is an adjustable strap that has a pair of powerful magnets built in. It can hold any object that weighs up to nearly 9 pounds, even on wet surfaces. It comes with two strap lengths, with a third and larger one available as an optional add-on.

After seeing the unusual way in which magnets interact with copper, NightHawkInLight explores whether an electromagnetically-generated force field in copper could stop or slow a magnetic projectile in mid-flight.

MagSafe is dead. Long live MagSafe. Ilovehandles made a spiritual successor to Apple’s inexplicably shelved technology by adapting it for plugs. Tug saves not just your laptop but any device with a plug from damage with its magnetic breakaway connection.

Micaton’s Magnet Driver tool kit is a set of bits, screw tips and other tools with magnetic parts. They make drilling, driving and nailing more precise and safe, as well as making it easier to keep track of nails, screws and bits.

Unlike steel, copper isn’t attracted to or repulsed by magnets. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t some interaction. NightHawkInLight takes a look at some of the strange behaviors that occur between thick sheets of copper and strong neodymium magnets.

Engineers at UPenn’s ModLab developed a network of drones which are capable of joining together mid-flight to form meta-drones to perform tasks together. The prototypes appear to use static magnets, but electromagnets could allow them to detach easily.

Tinkerer of things DoodleChaos set up a maze of Jenga blocks, dominoes, sticks, magnets, and other bits and bobs, and precisely placed them such that a series of ball bearings dropped into the them syncs up perfectly with Tchaikovsky’s Waltz of the Flowers.

Science channel Cody’s Lab shows us how the interactions between magnets are similar to the way that molecules work, with the most fascinating bit being the glass and aluminum rig he built to simulate the way molecules work in a gaseous state.

We don’t usually get excited about unboxing videos, but there’s something about the pleasant voice of Braniac75 as he cracks open what just might be the most powerful (and dangerous) neodymium magnet you can buy, and cracks it open to see just what it can do.

Lodesol’s magnetic tool mats are flexible enough to be draped over a variety of surfaces. They’re also thin enough to fit in drawers and can be used to keep tools secure and organized when stored. There’s also a foldable variant.

YouTuber Brusspup catalogs nine nifty playthings which use magnets to make stuff hover, spin, attract, repel, and behave in cool and unexpected ways. We’ve seen most of them before, but there were a couple of surprises, like that MagSwitch.

Keep your hands free and your eyes on the road while driving with this versatile universal in-car smartphone mount. It clips onto almost any air vent, holds your phone using magnets, and offers 360° rotation and swivel adjustments. Save 23% in The Awesomer Shop.

The process of sandwiching oil and ferrofluid between sheets of glass is messy to say the least, but the result is amazing – the ability actually view the radiating fields created by magnets placed on the surface of the glass. Magnetic Games shows us how its done.

Beyond its liquid properties, the other cool thing about mercury is that it’s magnetic. Roobert33 shows how electromagnets can be used to change the direction that mercury flows in. It would be cool to build an Escher-style fountain that flows uphill with this method.

If cube-shaped magnetic building blocks aren’t your thing – perhaps some other Platonic solids will be. TRIDO’s self-aligning construction toys let you build all kinds of interesting structures and creatures using octahedrons, tetrahedrons, and half-tetrahedrons.

These small plastic building blocks have magnets built inside of them, allowing for quick-snap construction of your own 3D voxel art creations. A companion app will provide ideas for pre-made designs too. Bricks will come in 16 vibrant colors to start.

Magnetic Games demonstrates a neat effect that happens when placing tiny magnets between larger magnets and a surface made from pyrolytic graphite, a material which is weakly repelled by them. Think that spinning bit is cool? Check out more maglev magic here.

Using a spoon, some nuts and bolts, and a few strong Pot magnets, Magnetic Games shows us how to build a desktop catapult which can launch projectiles with the push of a thumb. The more powerful the magnets, the further it will throw objects. Original design here.

Plugies give your mobile gadgets the same kind of convenience you’re used to from Apple’s MagSafe connectors. Just attach the Lightning or MicroUSB dongle into your device and you’ll have a quick-release magnetic charging connection. Save 30% in The Awesomer Shop.

Neodymium magnets can be useful, but they can also be dangerous, as some are so strong that nothing will stand in their way. Magnetic Games shows off one such magnet. Buy one if you dare from Supermagnete, or ramp things up with The Monolith.

Dropbear Digital’s incredible music video for Dan Sultan’s track Magnetic was created through a mix of 3D printing, stop-motion, and projection mapping techniques to bring the singer’s digitized avatar to life. The behind-the-scenes photo album is equally fascinating.
