is it magnetic? if so, is it strong enough to hold scissors and such?

It's not magnetic. It is designed to hold papers with a roller ball system hidden inside metal strips. If you want something to hold scissors, you may want to consider the magnetic knife strip: http://www.amazon.com/Norpro-Inch-Aluminum-Magnetic-Knife/dp/B0014WNVHC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1426114435&sr=8-1&keywords=magnetic+knife+strip

No. It uses tension to hold paper. It will NOT hold scissors (too heavy and too thick). It is to hold paper, cards, newspaper articles or photos for ease of viewing. I have mine in front of where my elderly mother sits for her breakfast in her assisted living room. She can see cards, christmas photos of family, etc.

Nope, it's not magnetic. It hangs paper without magnets or push pins... it has a roller inside, which you can't see by the main picture. You push paper up into the back of the roller for it to hold. You lift paper up away from roller for it to release.

No. It is not magnetic. It has rollers inside for holding things like paper only.

I'm chuckling. It's strong relative to what it is perhaps? Only the black side is magnetic. It's perfect for magnetic blackboards, filing cabinets etc. I can toss a 1 foot by one foot sheet at my blackboard and it sticks. I love the stuff. Great for teachers for sure. Hope this helps.

No magnets. I've not had a problem with paper moving while I'm cutting. The underside of the cutting bar is tacky and it locks down pretty tight.

It has both a clip and a magnet, although the clip doesn't "stretch" too far....my suggestion would be to use the magnet feature instead, if possible. It's a great product. Good luck.

The magnet is fairly strong. I wouldn't chance it. I might carry it separately if possible

Yes! It's magnetic. The keyboard seriously is ultra thin and perfect. I'm a student and it fits perfectly into my backpack.

Mine is magnetic and you can clip it on your belt or there are loops on it so you can run the belt through it I think it's great!

Yes for pens/pencils, there is a longer slot with 2 opening side ends.I don't think it can hold scissors.

Hmmm...I don't see why not, the magnetic very strong, as long at the handles are not very heavy.

I don't believe the magnets are strong enough. This is a series of small magnets mounted inside steel bar. It's really not quite strong enough for heavy duty tools, such as large pliers.

No. It is not a strong clip. Works well for papers and dishcloths and such, but snapped apart when I tried to clip thicker items.

The magnetic knife holder still needs to be mounted to something, as the magnet is only facing out/attracting things to it on the side where the knives and other metal objects go. Nice though though! At least that was my experience with it. I did not attempt to put it anything metal first. My guess, even if it did stick, it wouldn't stick enough to hold anything of great weight...ie. the reason for mounting it with screws. Enjoy! I've loved mine.

It's as strong as a pen clip can be and still be only a pen clip. This is a worthy tool in all aspects; I carry it in either my left shoulder pocket or my right jeans pocket.

Magnetic. Not a bad case but it isn't very tough. I've had several and the clip and belt loops tend to break after a few months.

No, it's not magnetic. It's metal. The magnets you stick to it are magnetic. If the locker was magnetic, it would be scary all the tools flying towards it in my garage.

I would't trust mounting tape. I have two of these knife strips....one for 12 scissors of various sizes in my sewing room and one for about 10 knifes, both large and small in my kitchen. As a wall mounted strip with screws, it functions well and has a lot of magnetic pull. But I have not seen a mounting tape that I would think would be strong enough to hold the strip in place.

Yes. The magnets are strong. The case won't open on its own when moving in and out of a bag.
