Permanent means that they are able to retain the magnetic properties over high periods of time constantly generating magnetic field from their surroundings. These magnets are actually the strongest permanent magnet types available commercially and they have even replaced other magnet types in different application in making modern products that need the strength. Today you will find the magnets in cordless tools as motors, fasteners and even in hard disk drives. Below are some of the common uses of neodymium magnets.
