Nice magnet, although the casing has a slight Leak wrt the metal filings.

I have been ordering/using the Dowling Magnets Mysterious Magnet Tube for almost a decade - this version I bought (5 of them) were poorly constructed - the centre tube has a join where the glue is old/cracked allowing the iron filings to escape and coat the magnet. Sending them back. Hopefully there are better versions still available.
