How to Rip a Magnetic Strip
A magnetic strip could be one of two types: a strip of magnet that can be used to hang things up in arts and crafts or various other projects or the magnetic strip on the back of a credit card or identification card. The former is an actual magnet while the latter is mostly plastic. Both of these magnetic strips, however, can be hard to rip, but it must be done for crafts or when disposing of old credit cards or identification cards. Does this Spark an idea?
