Ferromagnetic = strong attraction
Paramagnetic = weak attraction
Diamagnetic = repulsion

Can’t truly believe that someone was having a semantic argument about this subject, though.

After all when he stated "US General and Lisle sell competing magnetic glove dispensers that you can attach to any metal surface." were we supposed to think they had discovered a new type of magnet? I can't speak for the rest, but I got it. Geeze,

Here's a good link: http://books.google.com/books?id=axyWXjsdorMC&pg=RA1-PA89&lpg=RA1-PA89&dq=classification+of+magnetic+materials&source=web&ots=fVnh046hiH&sig=sG1twqYROrBvnai07mTZ_UM4wQI&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=3&ct=result I think you're right on with the term magnetic, but paramagnetic doesn't really seem to be the correct term. Paramagnetic materials are very weakly attracted. An example would be aluminum. To be technically correct a magnet can stick to materials in the set of [paramagnetic, magnetic]. From now on I'll just say something like "... attach to the surface of any magnetic material." Thanks Zathrus,

That said, if you don't know that some metals (stainless steel, aluminum) are not magnetic (also a correct term) then, please, put the tools down and step away. You apparently weren't listening in 4th grade. Benjamen,

What about all my 316 stainless steel toolboxes? Oh wait. I don't have any of those. I do have some 316 ss screws tho. But I guess I wouldn't be attaching a box of nitrile gloves to them... Yeah!

You'll find it very common in marketing literature. I just got a little lazy today. Seriously, if you're going to complain give me a word that means a magnet will stick to it. I've used ferrous in the past grudgingly because magnets won't stick to some ferrous metals -- some grades of stainless -- while they'll also stick to some non-ferrous surfaces.
