Not a bad deal for the price but know you paid for it. Empty space at the ends and you can't connect the magnet parts together so you have a gap between them. The width of the magnetic strip isn't optimal for holding heavier items - let's say anything heavier than about 24 ounces "wobbles" in place rather than being tugged and held securely. Let's say magnets. Inexpensive. Not to mention it won't hold heavier items, it just doesn't keep them "safe" in place. As I said before, they may or may not work for you depending on your intended use. You get three strips per pack, that's saying something and that's why I gave it 4 stars. Quantity is more important than quality.
