Small magnets; Looking for powerful but small magnets

Anybody know where I can buy small and powerful magnets. I had a bund of them and had used them all for various things - mainly for securing cowls and hatches. By small, I am referring to about 1/4 inch diameter max. Its need to be small as they will usually be buried in the fuselage i some pretty tight places eg. cowling area. Using magnets is much easier to use than the traditional dowel and screw method for securing cowls and hatches.

Plenty sold on line and cost is cheap but not the shipping cost (relative to the low cost of the magnets itself).
