I just came across them today. Cheaper than Filtermag.
Anyone use them?

They claim to trap soot. Are soot particles from direct injection engines magnetic?

No, they are not. Pretty much only iron/steel.

You could lift your small animal if you attach a metal plate to it, which is how the manufacturer advertises their product on their website.

Stupidest advertising trick

You could just get some small neodymium magnets for a lot cheaper

Not for that price. I just use rare earth magnets on my spin on filters.

^^^ LOL ... more like a "dog trap".

Looks like a heavy duty refrigerator magnet.

From what I can tell the Bear Trap's use small round magnets where as the Filtermags use bar style magnets.
