Telescoping Magnetic Pickup Tool - 40-Inch Magnet Stick with 50lb Capacity to Safely Retrieve Nails, Screws, and Metallic Objects by Stalwart (Orange)

The pro’s are it’s a strong magnet on the end of a quite sturdy telescopic type 2-piece extendable pole/tube (rod), that uses a nifty twist action to lock the desired adjustable length. This device paid for itself after 45 minutes use by finding countless rusty nails, screws, and a couple of tools lost in the thick landscape beds located below a large deck restoration project. The main drawback is it’s weight from that heavy-duty capability results in fatigue on the user’s wrist after a little time. I suppose that a more-ergonomic handle design would help with that issue. Also, I found the rod’s twist-locking would come loose occasionally when the magnet head would get caught on the landscape plants I was searching through, but that was mostly resolvable by using a firmer twist-lock force. Not yet sure of the rust resistance level of the rod; more time is needed. All-in-all, a very helpful tool for sure.

Made very well with obvious good quality. Magnet is strong. Feels heavy duty and has thick rubber grip. Just a little annoying when adjusting length when twisting to lock you have to try a few times to line up the finger grooves with the head. But I will probably leave it fully extended anyway. Good product. Happy with it.

Not great but does work picking things up on flat floors like concrete. Works OK in gravel and dirt parking areas.

We had our garage re-roofed and i saw a few nails in the grass afterword. Bought this to see if it could find any more. Using this, we found 175 mire whole or partial old nails around the four sides of the garage! We just waived it around on the grass, you hear a “click” and a nail is stick to it! The head is kind of small, so you have to waive it in very small rows but it found a lot of nails that might have gone into barefeet! Worth it!

This tool is awesome. I picked up a lot of nails and other things in our alley so we don’t get them in our tires.

Just finished remodeling and re-roofing my little home. Noticed when sitting on the front porch there were lots of nails laying around in the grass and mulch. Since I have both dogs and cats, I was concerned one of them would jump off the porch and get, well, nailed. I also saw nails on the driveway and didn't want a slow puncture there either. I purchased this magnet and sent my dogwalker out to just do a pass around the house. He brought back such a huge collection of nails in the first 3 feet around the house that I had him widen the perimeter. He came back with another chunk of nails the 2nd pass! It was easy, even fun to get all the nails. He's very tall and the 40" arm worked fine. Well worth it for cleaning up the construction zone and making sure no people or pets get jabbed with a rusty (or even a non-rusty nail)! The photo is one pass of the yard, note some are 3 to 4-inch nails! They are in the bottom of a 24 can cat food box for perspective.

Not as strong as expected - it's great for what it is - a magnet on a stick, but still has to be less than about an inch of anything metal to attract to it or pull it. I was expecting a very strong rare earth type of magnetism, but this is just so-so, so I'm still looking for a really good one.

purchased this to pick up metal chips off floor from my milling machine, it works great, easy to reach with its long handle, picks up well, and releases clean too.
