Magnetic Pick Up Tool

There is (almost) nothing to dislike about this item: a powerful Neodymium magnet at the end of a stout "walkie-talkie" style extendible "antenna", with a moulded rubber/polymer grip. It does the specific job I hoped for (lifting full size, "pro" spec Pétanque Boules from the ground) - about 700g (over 1.5lb) of 440c grade Stainless Steel per Boule. The one thing I didn't like was the flimsy pocket "Pen Clip". But happy, that came straight off, and is now in my recycling bin. STRONG Magnet, on STOUT EXTENDIBLE "Radio Aerial" POLE - you got it - and I love it! :-)

Good string magnet, sturdy construction, doesn't bend when extended.

I bought this after one of my children managed to drop the house keys down the back of the piano. If you’ve ever tried moving a piano, you’ll know how awkward it is to get it back into position! This little tool saved the day and made retrieving the keys so much easier. The magnet is strong enough to pick up metal items without a struggle, and the telescopic extension is very handy for reaching tight spots. The only slight drawback is that you can’t really hold it at full extension like you would a tape measure — it quickly goes back in on itself , so in my case I had toto approach from more of a side angle rather than directly above. It worked fine, just required a bit of manoeuvring. Overall, a useful gadget to have in the drawer for those “why me?” moments.

Not used yet. Appears much better than the one have used for years until it bnroke

VERY HANDY

Works but a bit flimsy quality. Magnet nowhere near strong enough for garage / motor use

all good

Fab product for getting dropped lost bits - hubby rates it well - very good quality and strong magnet

Cet aimant télescopique rempli correctement sa fonction et il est assez robuste.

It extends. Great! It picks up metal objects. Great! Is it made for "inside" use? No! Imagine that you have a small metal object, vaguely shaped like a teardrop with a small base so it can sort of stand on it's own. Now imagine that you put this metal object somewhere where is was meant to go, but you were a little too exited so you forced it a bit and now it's kind of stuck. We'll that happened. To someone. Maybe me, but it might also have been me. How would retrieve a metal object that's stuck somewhere? With a magnet of course! A magnet on a stick would be optimal! One that's collapsible would be best in case you suddenly need it for similar applications in the future and can tuck it away (foreboding) somewhere. The magnet however can come loose. If it does it will, at Mach 1,instantly travel to any nearby large metal object. You now have 2 metal objects stuck together. And a stick. You now start to concoct a reasonable excuse that's plausible enough to fool any medical staff. You fail to do so. But you go to the hospital anyway. You take a number and sit in the waiting room. You're not going to the emergency room, the less people involved the better, and your mom didn't raise a cry baby after all. When they call your number a young nurse comes through the door. A beautiful girl with dreamy eyes and a kind smile. "Number 37!" You crunch the piece of paper with the number 37 in your hand and look around sheepishly, like a labrador in a one dog home who just got the question of who ate the pillow. "Number 38?" You let your future wife, let's call her Lisa, take away number 38, an older man with a broken wrist. Better not be mean to Lisa you whisper to yourself. You take a new number and finally, Bob calls you in. Bob looks like a lumber jack, Bob looks like he's seen things. But he hasn't seen what is about to transpire. As you move to get up, the magnet finds the magnetic field created by it and the metal chair your sitting on. As you stand up, the magnet, with its teardrop shaped bestie violently exits its abode, through pants. It's not a dry affair I'm afraid. Oh no, this is like the elevator doors in the shining but seen by someone color blind. There is a loud, wet, "Ting!" as magnet and companion firmly attaches to said chair. Bob retches, Lisa comes running out, she retches, you scream, you run, you slip. Laying in the hospital with a concussion, sans pants, being observed by Bob and Lisa was not how you intended this day. As Lisa leans in towards Bob and you hear her whisper "and I was going to ask him out" your world falls apart. But yeah, it picks up metal all right! Five stars.

A little expensive
