Rick’s Rants and Raves

So after I had started work on my hard drive mirror, I had a few magnets stuck to my fridge. This guy gave me the idea to add a handle onto it, to make removal easier.

I used the rings from the drive along with a zip tie through one of the screw holes. The rings are aluminum, and were used to separate the platters around the motor. They are quite comfortable, and make removal of the magnet pretty easy.
These things are incredibly strong. Just how strong? How about 3-lb-sack-of-potatoes strong.
