FUN: Buckyballs Uses

Don’t ask why or how, but Buckyballs users are basically scientists, looking for new and smart ways to use the high-power, Rare Earth magnet balls we can Buckyballs. In the years since we started selling them, we’ve seen and heard it all…. Every now and then though, we still hear something new. Some of the ideas that come across our desk are simply too good to keep secret.
And so, without further ado, our Top 34 Things to Do With Your Balls, as suggested by Buckyballs users. Go ahead, try a few. You’ll be glad you did!
1. Use a magnetic ball as wall stud finder
