More from Etsy

A site that promotes hand made items - not cheap but innovative - like these cool gear magnets...


This listing is for one (1) of the sets pictured. Please indicate which set you would like at checkout (set A, set B, set C, or set D). If you do not indicate which set you would like, a random set will be selected.

Each set includes:
1 - 2.75in gear
1 - 2.5in gear
1 - 2in gear
2 - 1.75in gears

Magnetic steampunk inspired gears are modeled on a functionally accurate involute spur gear pattern. Each gear is free spinning and meshes properly with every other gear. All gears can be meshed and will turn if one gear is turned.

Gear bases include a Neodymium (NdFeB) super magnet to hold it securely to any magnetic surface. People love to play with these when they see them on your refrigerator. (Please be aware that some refrigerators are made of non magnetic stainless steel and as such these magnets will not stick or will stick very weakly.)

These magnets are listed as toys but are NOT RECOMMENDED FOR CHILDREN as they contain small parts that can detach if mistreated.

Please allow up to 2 weeks for delivery. Most items ship in 2-3 days.
