Jonard Tools MRS-24 MagneTriever™ Magnetic Retrieval System Kit with Flexible Magnetic Retriever, Retrieval Hook, & Ball Chain

Great product

I use this for my work and works really well. I prefer Jonard tools over some random Brand in terms of quality and price.

First reaction was positive, seemed sturdy and came with a little tote bag. Looked the part. However, after a single use the large magnetic head clean snapped off. Will be asking for a refund or replacement.

I purchased this last week and have used it twice since then for projects around the home — running an HDMI cable in the wall for a sound bar and installing a new AC outlet. This magnet and chain system made both job incredibly easy, but there was no insulation in walls in these two projects. I think had there been insulation it would have been difficulty for the chain to fall down the wall and therefore would have used my fish tape. How to use it to install an HDMI cable in the wall for a sound bar (for example): - Anchor the top end of the chain near the hole where the sound bar will be mounted - Drop the chain in the wall through the top hold near where the sound bar will be mounted - Through the lower hole where the DHMI cable will come out of the wall, use the magnetic wand to locate the chain and pull it towards you - Once you can see the chain, use the included hook to grab the chain and pull it though the hole in the wall - Tape your HDMI cable to the metal chain near the bottom hole in the wall and pull the metal chain back up through the top hole Pros: - Easy to use in walls without insulation - Magnets are powerful and make it easy to find the chain in the wall. - Comes with a small black carrying bag Cons: - None I’d recommend this product

The magnets are strong and it comes with 3. 2 on the bendy thing and the hook has one on the back. Lot of versatility to this tool. The chain is also pretty strong and held up on a tough wire run.
