Looking for a new magnet supplier

I am looking for somewhere to buy my magnets now. Harbor freight stop selling the double pack magnets that I've been buying for the last two years. These things were great, they were about a half-inch thick and 2 1/2 inches wide. They would hold 40 pounds easily. I am starting a new route this week and desperately need magnets. Thoughts and suggestions please.

We buy our mags here.
Buy a 1.25" aluminum bar for about $50 and cut it into 2" sections, take a drill press or lathe w/ bit the same size as magnets you buy, crimp the top a little and you've got great magnets for plastic! Buy a small block of aluminum for $20 or so, cut to your satisfaction and drill press holes in the bottom for mags and tap holes for screws and you've got a magnetic scraper!
Be careful w/ these magnets though! They are not Harbor Freight mags! Once you set them in a sturdy casing they should last you forever!
 
I'm using those from Harbor Freight and I can't complaint... Of course at 7.99$ each they're a bit expensive but not even close to what's available here in Canada!
