J.A. Henckels 11-1/2-Inch Magna Bar Knife Storage Bar

So I searched long and hard before buying this because the wall knife magnet in my old house was weak and the knives would fall easily which is dangerous. The reviews on this was that the magnet was very powerful. I agree it is. The knives stay put which is great. But and there is a but here. The case that goes around the magnet which is what holds it in place is very flimsy. You see you end up putting a screw in each end and then sliding the caps through the plastic base in order to hold it in place. Then you let the magnet do the rest. But when you go to remove a knive, the magnet is so strong that you end up pulling the knive and the entire manget base bends up or down depending on the direction. I don't like this because it give a false sense that something bad is about to happen. They should have spent more time producing a rigid strong base like my old set. I wish I could have the base from my old unit and the magnet from my new one. Then I would be set.

I ordered this comparatively high-priced magnetic holder specifically because it was 11.5 inches, so would fit on the end of my 12-inch deep cabinet.

When it arrived it was actually almost 12.5 inches, so it sticks out on the end and I can't use it!

Disappointing to pay extra for an item just because it fits, and find out it doesn't. It is made of plastic, too, so there's no excuse for the high price (except maybe the Henckel name, which I don't care about.

The magnets are very strong; a little stronger than I'd like, but maybe some people would like it that way.

It holds our Global knifes to the wall, but we had a hell of a time trying to install this thing. Also, during installation, the ends cracked very easily under slight pressure. The magnet is strong, but the plastic is very low quality, soft and flimsy.
