Tiny and Intense
These magnet while small are really strong attraction when magnet to magnet with no separation. I'm using them as closures for my leather handbag compartment construction, so to stop any closure "noise" it needs to have some separation, generally skived (thinned) leather. So a learning experience. I'll need to go a little stronger in the magnets to compensation for the separation.

Hi Christopher,
Thank you for sharing your experience with the 5mm x 1mm disc magnets for your leather handbag project. We appreciate you sharing the learning curve with using them as closures with leather separation to reduce noise. It's a common challenge when working with leather applications where you need that buffer layer. Moving up to a slightly stronger magnet to compensate for the separation distance is definitely the right approach.
If you'd like any suggestions on stronger options that might work better for your handbag compartment closures, feel free to reach out.
Kind regards,
