We install a csk 10-32 and lock nut to act as a handle, and they are ready to use...

I’ve scoured eBay for these and the nearest I can find are 50lb or 90lb strength. Exactly how much grip do these 65lb magnets give? I believe the rating is based on them being tested on material approximately 3/8” thick so do they pull off body panels easier? I don’t want to buy some that are rated to low but also don’t want to get them so that they are impossible to remove.
Thanks.
