I don't know how to do the math on the strength of the magnet, not sure how we measure that. I can do the math on the price though:

For me, it's $12.49, I bought one a month or two back, it's a very strong magnet.

Here is the one I got! Thank you! I’m pretty much hooked after today!
> If you damage the pinch, you've done something wrong.
The way people do it is by jacking it up off the pinch weld, often as they are told to, which simply bends or crushes it. Shops and dealers do this all the time and ruin them. That vertical pinched area is not going to hold the weight of the car and isn't designed to. It just locates the widow makers u-shaped support, and the jack's small steel pad above that support, rests on the underbody of the car lifting it.
So you won't wreck the pinch weld with a widow maker because the pinch weld doesn't come in contact with anything. But if you use a jack or lift at these locations, you are lifting from the vertical pinch weld and risk bending them, then they rust, and start more problems.
If you are going to use the pinch welds, you have to make sure the pinch weld is not touching anything, only the underbody is, and that requires a special jack pad with a grooved slot that is deeper than the pinch weld, and a support area above it with the correct angle to contact the underbody, which most don't have and is a lot of bother anyway, since once you've jacked it up there, how do you get a jack stand there as well? So I suggest not using them at all, or using them just for jacking up using the pad adapters and use jack stands elsewhere.
These look ok, but haven't tried them myself, but it gives you an idea.

Hello! Do you have any rivers, ponds or bodies of water near you? If so, you should try magnet fishing. Magnet fishing is where you have a magnet (Usually 100-500 pound test) attached to a rope, and throw it into the body of water, and drag it back into shore. You can find anything. you can get cheap magnets on Amazon, such as:
This, a 350 Pound test magnet, or This, a 290 Pound test magnet
It fits in with Metal Detecting very well.
Not OP, but some Google-fu: https://www.amazon.com/Brute-Magnetics-Neodymium-Countersunk-Diameter/dp/B01LYU81DB
I bought my little kit on amazon for $25. Came with the rope and everything. I’ll link it.

So the trailer that I have has a big box for straps jacks, etc mounted on the front and in there is a squatty 20 ton jack like this one. https://www.amazon.com/Torin-T92003B-Hydraulic-Bottle-Capacity/dp/B000234IT4 and I put it in between the front skid and the front wall of the trailer. My trailer is a 10,000lb GVW trailer and it has a beam across the front that I put the jack against, and then I use blocks in between the front of the trailer and the skid and jack it backwards a little bit at a time. It's not perfect, but it does work. I have not had to move the load forward yet, but I have needed to move it backwards twice before I figured out the exact right position for the skids.
How about this?
If you google brute magnets, you’ll find what I believe is their 880 pound pull magnet. IMO it’s one of the best for the price and really good quality!

A 25 degree slope is not safe place to jack up any vehicle. 5 degree, maybe with heavy chocks, solid jackstands, on concrete not asphalt or dirt.
What kind of jack you got? What kind of stands? Are you wanting to jack up all four corners, just one, or just rear?
Because the car has neither a center front or center rear jack point, at home you can't really put it on four jack stands.

That said, I do have a jack (actually 3), jack stands, and wheel chocks (My car is a manual transmission). I will never work on a car with just the scissor jack.
Edit: One additional line.
Ahh I didn't think of jacks! I think I'm going to pick up something like this: Adjustable Floor Jack https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0195UTJ2A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_91bwyb10Q4QB6

Copying and pasting a comment from a previous thread -
I did a DIY setup, with everything coming from Amazon except the carabiners, which you can pretty much find anywhere. Here's the links for the parts:
Steel Cable: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B003YDK49M/
Wire Rope Clips: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00III7IP6/
Pulleys: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BD6BSQ/

Tie-down Straps (for hanging pulleys from the rack): https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01AS5QC1C/
Loading Pin: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01IRY5U14/
Assuming you have some tools around, this should be everything you would need. I recommend a bolt cutter if you don't already have one. I thought I would be able to cut the steel cable with the wire cutters built into my pliers and it was not happening. Ended up having to make a trip to the tool shop this morning to get that.
You can get some good ones for way under that, for example: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01K38XA4G
Though you will need to factor in getting some rope and a karabiner.
I suggest that you check out /r/magnetfishing for lots of good info and to see what others are finding. Also, try searching Youtube.com for lots of interesting videos on what can be found. I have mostly found junk! But, I keep some of the junk and may sell it as scrap one of these days.
Here is the magnet setup that I purchased: https://www.amazon.com/Magnet-Fishing-Kit-575-Pull/dp/B07QNTVJP6/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=Magnet+Fishing+Kit+575+LBS+Pull+%28N52%29+-+Round+Neodymium+Fishing+Magnet%2C+2.95%22+Magnet+with+65+feet+8mm+Rope+and+Carabiner+with+Water+Proof+Carry+Case+and+Gloves&qid=1567184252&s=gateway&sr=8-1
If I had it to do over, I would probably have purchased a double sided magnet. Probably something over 1500 pounds. It's just my guess and from a little research, that the double sided would work better. The reason being, is the magnet will lay flat on the riverbed surface and be more likely to attach to something. Conversely, my magnet drags around on its side. Just dragging my magnet through the yard, metal has to be fairly close before it attaches.
The "holy grail" for magnet fishers is to find a gun. I'm not so excited about this possibility, I simply like to find things. Finding a gun has a few problems - What do you do with it? Was it involved in a crime? My guess is that if you find one, it's probably been involved in a crime, so I would probably turn it in (maybe).
Other tips: the process can be a dirty one, dress accordingly. You will definitely get wet. Be prepared to know how to get your magnet unstuck. There are methods that you can find in the magnetfishing group I mentioned above. Take a hammer and a block of wood so that you can remove your magnet if you get it stuck to something flat. Be careful with these magnets, they are very strong and can do some damage. I got mine stuck to the side of my truck once - not fun. Thankfully my truck is a '91 model and the marks the magnet left were nothing compared to the hole in the front fender!
Let me know if you decide to try it!

That's awesome! I live in Canada so, Amazon . ca is more limited. There's a few 1700 pound double sided ones but the reviews say they're sketchy / like false advertising. There are some big single pull ones though, up to about 1200 lbs, but I didn't bother with that - yet.
I've looked into this quite a bit and the best way I found (which may be overkill) is to get the following:
The turnbuckles would really only be needed if you don't believe you could get the steel cable tight enough, but if you have a short span it shouldn't be an issue. If you plan to run the steel cable through each eye hook and only have the terminals at the ends, then the turnbuckle may be needed.
EDIT:
They also make much cleaner looking solutions where the terminals have a built-in turnbuckle like THIS and terminals that have a lag bolt already attached which would remove the need for eye hooks like THIS

I'm about to be experimenting with water for the Summer months here in Florida. I bought a handheld and didn't like it. Then I got a good deal on a camelback-like setup. I've also considered hear belts that hold like 2-4 small bottles, but I'll check out this backpack setup. I usually just run with a Halo headband to catch sweat, but I'm going to try a Brooks visor to not only absorb sweat but keep the sun off my face. I'm trying my damndest to not resign myself to the treadmill this Summer.
Also, for car keys these are priceless. Super tiny. If you have a keychain setup where you can take your ignition key off by itself (which you should, because having your other keys dangling from your ignition can cause damage over time), you clip this onto your top lace and tuck the bottom of the key into a lower lace and your key stays put.

For those interested in the EZGO and KeySmart my opinions are as follows.
I like the EZGOs form-factor, but after owning it for a while it doesn't 'stretch' at all for what's in there. I have two credit cards, ID, insurance and a punch card in mine and it's like pulling teeth to get anything out of it. Also, since it's made to fit cards, anything bigger than that can't be accommodated. As a result I have my CPL, vehicle insurance and KOBALT tool rubber-banded to the thing. I've been eyeing the Flipside 3X as a replacement, but their shipping is around $7 which is over 10% the cost of the wallet... hence my apprehension in buying one.
As for the KeySmart, I've had it a couple of days and so far I dig it but with a couple of caveats. They include two keyblanks for Schlage-style keys. I took one of them to Lowe's to have it cut and there was an issue with the blank, as a result their machine could not provide an accurate copy. I purchased a key from Lowe's and they made it without issue. Not sure what kind of weird science is up with the blanks they included, but I would be leery of buying their 'lightweight' and colored blanks as you may have similar results. My second issue may be somewhat nitpicky, but it's next to impossible to open the door with one hand anymore. Hands full of groceries or mail? Well, you better plan ahead on getting your key flipped out prior to getting to the door, other wise you'll be settin' that shit down.
Would I buy the EZGO Slim again? No. Would I buy the KeySmart again? Yes.

Scissor jacks are absolute trash, even when you're just using them to change a tire on perfectly level ground.
The minimum i do is ditch the scissor jack, get a wider base bottle jack. That's just for emergencies.
Actual floor jack is 100% needed if you're doing planned work, along with jack stands.
I'll admit, i've gone under a car supported by floor jacks before - it was fine... but i've also seen too many accidents happen to chance it anymore.
Scissor jack is good for the garbage only.
There are also bottle jack stands - locking jack stand and lift in one.

I use 2 neodymium magnets @ 100 lb. pull each. They are stackable, meaning they combine strength when used together. Having said that, it pays off to get a few of those than to have all different sized magnets to suit any situation where the force to pull changes (i.e. if you are with someone on a pier v. alone on a fishing boat). This one is reliable. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01C6PB7C6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Check that out. It is a jackstand + a bottle jack. Most bottle jacks have just a knurled nub to lift on - very dicey. This is a jack stand for added safety (does NOT negate the need for real jack stands!) but also has a nice curved lift head to get a good seat on axle/frame. Be safe, rover on.

No matter which rope you choose, make sure you torch it till its red hot to remove anything from the manufacturing process. Some people just boil it, but I wouldn't.
Yes, get some nice cable cutters.
Possibly. But, if the wood is bad, and the concrete pier blocks are good, you can purchase some adjustable units:
