Why You Need a MagDuo or Kenko Precision Set
A moving magnet moves energy to cause an effect. We use rotating magnets around a wire to generate the electricity to keep our lights on at night. Likewise, a moving magnet near the body will move energy in the body.
With magnetic patches you have a static magnet taped to an area and your own movement causes the changes in the magnetic field to move energy and create the effect you are looking for. For example, you have a Kenko PowerChip taped to your upper arm. As you go through your day picking things up, moving things around, driving your car, your muscles shift under the magnet experiencing different parts of the field as if the magnet was moving.
With the MagDuo you have two spheres with magnets embedded in it that you roll over the area you want to work on. The rolling action creates a magnetic field that changes rapidly, and reaches farther, to move more energy and cause more change.
The Kenko Precision Set offers similar benefits with the magnetic sphere tool plus the relaxing benefit of grounding, electrically connecting you to the ground to drain away built up static charge. The pen tool lets you work on small areas with the same effect.
What Are the MagDuo and Kenko Precision Set
First the MagDuo. As I said above, they are two spheres with magnets embedded in it’s surface. The spheres are then mounted side by side in a case to make them easy to use together as a small magnetic massage roller. As you roll the set, the moving magnets create an ever changing magnetic field that can much more quickly and effectively cause change.
If you are familiar with the MagBoy, then you know exactly what the MagDuo is, with two main difference. One, the MagDuo is much lighter. That poses a bit of a challenge for older MagBoy users because we somehow associate the heft of the MagBoy with it’s effectiveness. Fortunately, the weight of a magnetic tool doesn’t really have any bearing on how well it works.
The second difference with the MagDuo is that the magnetic nodes embedded in the spheres are better. The nodes actually contain multiple magnets in opposition to each other to create a bigger magnetic field. Nikken calls it Dynaflux. What you care is that the fields reach farther from the magnet, so they penetrate to deeper tissues than just beneath the skin.
Kenko Precision Set
The Kenko Precision Set includes two tools: a magnetic massage ball in a cup holder and a magnetic tipped wand (I call it a pen). The set also includes a cord to plug them into the ground port on a wall outlet or a grounded USB port.
The ball is ideal for working on larger, meatier areas while the wand/pen is ideal for working smaller, delicate areas.
Grounding is the added benefit of the Precision Set, and a lot of people don’t understand what that means. Actually they do, just not when it comes to the human body. This isn’t the same “grounding” that your yoga instructor talks about, unless you’re doing yoga barefoot in the grass.
This is electrical grounding, like in an appliance that has the third prong on the plug. If the outlet is wired correctly, that prong connects to a wire in the outlet that eventually runs out to a metal spike in the actual ground outside where electricity can safely disperse without causing harm.
That is what you do with the Precision Set too. It has a cord that you use to plug either the ball or the wand into the ground port on your electrical outlet. Then as you use the tool, all of the built up static charge in your body is safely dispersed into the ground outside.
And yes, you do build up a lot of static charge as you go about your day. You notice it most when the air is dry, you scuff your feet on the carpet, then touch a doorknob. Or rub a balloon against your hair to get it to stick to the wall. You pick up static charge just moving around, through friction with the air and with your clothing. The floors in your house and the soles of your shoes insulate you from the ground, so it keeps building up and potentially causes inflammation and other problems that you generally don’t notice.
How to Use The MagBoy and Kenko Precision Set
Using either is very easy. Just take them out and use them on any area of your body that you feel needs it most.
For the MagDuo, the spheres are already mounted in the case, so just pop off the top of the case and use it as a roller. It works great on thighs, upper arms, and shoulders.
You can also use the spheres independently. First notice how that are currently positioned so that you can put them back in the same way. Look for the black-ringed node on each one. Then carefully pop off the blue piece of the case and the spheres will be free.
Older MagBoy users like to change the orientation of the spheres so that they effect each other. Showing how you can turn one sphere to make the other one turn is a nice trick to start a demonstration. Look, they really are magnets! But I don’t think that does anything to improve how effective they are on you. If you really want to do it with yours, rotate the spheres so that the black-ringed nodes are tipped toward each other, kind of like this: / and \ instead of straight up. It doesn’t work as well with the MagDuo anyway because each node is a mix of poles.
Kenko Precision Set
To get both magnetic and grounding benefits from the Kenko Precision tools, you have to plug it into the grounding port of an outlet or use the USB cord to plug it into something that is plugged in with a 3-prong plug, like a desktop computer, or a laptop that is currently plugged in. If there isn’t an actually physical connection to ground then there is no grounding.
You can also use them as just magnetic massage tools and not be connected to a grounded device. You have a lot more freedom to work this way.
Beyond that, just use the tools wherever you feel that you need the work.

Hi……I’ve owned a couple of sets of magboys for many years now and thoroughly recommend them. I know of quite a few people here in Australia who would like to purchase them. Would it be possible to order a bulk amount to be shipped to me and distributed to the other people?
Many thanks,
Meredith
I wish I could help you. Nikken pulled out of Australia several years ago, so the products aren’t available there anymore. Distributors can only sell in their local market, which for me is the US and Canada.
I just bought a “Magcreator”…. and on the box it says we need to get training to use it… where does one get the training,,??
Hi Paul. There isn’t any training required. The MagCreator was originally a demo tool for distributors to promote the magnetic mattress topper. In that capacity there was a specific routine that Nikken wanted us to learn. If you are curious, I found the video on YouTube. It is highly promotional, so consider yourself warned 😉
For “normal” people, just use to provide the magnetic massage that you would like to receive. Vary the speed and the pressure that you use and you will do fine.
Where can I purchase a set of Magboy magnets in Australia?
Hi Paulette. Nikken closed their business in Australia last year so, at least for now, none of the Nikken products are available in Australia. The best suggestion I can offer is if you know someone who lives in a country where Nikken does operate (US, Canada, most of Europe, some of Central and South America), you can ask them to order the MagDuo (current Magboy) for you and send it to you once they receive it. I’m in the US and can handle orders for anywhere in the US and Canada.
I am interested in becoming a Nikken distributor. I have had a couple of the products for about 25 years.
Thank you for your interest Mindy. I have emailed you separately to talk about what you want to accomplish with your distributorship and to help you get started.
The benefits of magnetic therapy are immense and they can be deployed in several ailments which cause acute pain of the bodily organs. It shows best results in case of chronic pain and it can be taken as alternative treatment for any ailment caused due to trauma, accident or any kind of physical agony. Thanks for sharing.
Agree with you. Magnetic therapy also works really well for back pain which is a very common problem among middle aged and aged people. People run after so many expensive treatments but fail to realize the power of magnet.
Thanks for the comment Nicole. I’ve used Nikken’s magnets for several years and I love them. Good luck with your website.
