Magnets for use at home

You know when the box of  pins, falls on the floor, and it used to be easy to pick them up from the floor with a magnet in order to replace them in the box  or container.

Well, I lost my magnet a few years ago and wanted to replace it for when the next occasion accidentally occurs, I tried to find a new magnet in the shops.

That was difficult as I tried all likely shops in Woden Plaza.

I even went to Pauls Hardware shop in Phillip, and bought a magnet on a long pole, together with a light at its extremity.

Not entirely contented with this purchase, I went to the yellow pages, and found an entry  for magnets.

I made a phone call and found that Howard Carew, of Apple graphics at applegrapics.com.au had a supply of magnets, went to his house yesterday, and bought some magnets which are very strong, and will do the job if I ever  need to pick up some dropped nails or pins, he even gave me a free magnet on top of the bought ones, small cost but well worth it.  I am willing to supply further information to any person in need of the information.  I have his business card.
