“Not worth the money used a few times and got nothing so came home and tested it it struggled with a money box that weighs 2 kg really not happy as it was for my autistic 14 year old and he saved his pocket money for it”
Hi Melinda,
Hi there,
Thank you for your feedback - we're sorry to hear about your experience, especially given that your son saved up for the kit. We completely understand how disappointing that must feel.
From what you’ve described, it sounds like the test with the money box may not have been the best indicator of the magnet’s performance. Many money boxes are made from very thin or low-grade metal (or even coated materials), which can significantly reduce how well a magnet can attract them - even if they feel heavy overall. Our magnets tend to perform best when attracting solid steel objects of similar thickness and composition, particularly in real magnet fishing conditions.
Magnet fishing can also take a bit of time and patience to get results, especially depending on the location and what’s beneath the surface. That said, we absolutely want you to feel confident in your purchase.
If you’d like, we’d be more than happy to offer some tips to help improve results, or discuss options with you directly.
Thanks again for your feedback, and we truly hope your son gets a more enjoyable experience going forward.
Kind Regards,
FIRST4MAGNETS®
