Tie MagsMen's Hex, Silver, Magnetic Tie Clip.

My hubs likes tie tacks (old school) but I can not bear him poking holes in those expensive ties. This is our compromise!!

Pros It is very secure, it is not going to fall off easily. Does not pierce the tie like a tie tack and not as not as obtrusive as a chain. The decorative part was tasteful and subtle as I went with the hexagonal finished round version.Cons The back piece is REALLY thick. My shirts are cut thin and I could feel the backing occasionally. Not bad but I did notice it. The magnet is a little scary how strong it is. I would not want to get my finger between the front and back so I would have been happier with a thinner and less powerful backing . For the price of this it would have been nice to have had a second top plate included or the other side a different design. It would be able to buy additional ones for a minimal cost then.

I've tried tie clips, tacks, pins, chains stays. None of them quite work as well as 'd like. Clips get lost, tacks and pins put holes in your shirts and ties, I don't care for the look of chains and stays are never quite spaced perfectly with your shirt buttons. These are pricey but just about as good as it gets for me. The strength of the magnets is incredible. Once you line up the tie front, tail and shirt and let the magnets connect it's very secure. Now Having said that I did lose the first one I bought. Looked down and it was just gone. The magnets are so strong that there's no way it just came loose. It must have gotten caught on my seatbelt or something and got ripped off and fell outside the car and I never noticed it until I got home. It was painful because they are expensive, but I've since bought three more. I hope they'll make many more designs and maybe even colors!

I bought this for my elderly uncle for a Diamond Wedding Anniversary thinking it would make a good present, unfortunately the magnet is so strong I've had to return it.I separated the clip from the magnet to look at it, it was in my palm & the magnet literally jumped from the table to the outside of my hand so my hand was the meat in the magnet sandwich. I'm sure for someone who has strong & dexterous hands this is just the tie clip for them.

I received my Hex magnetic tie "pin" quickly after ordering. I am very impressed by the strength of the neodymium magnets despite a couple of reviews I read complaining about this. You absolutely want strong magnetic force in order to keep the tie in place as well as to prevent the "pin" from breaking contact and getting lost.The pin's design is understated, attractive/classy and pairs well with all of my ties. I am very happy with my purchase and believe that my next purchase will be the American flag. Sincere thanks to Tie Mags for a legitimate alternative to pin-based tie tacks!
