A must have for any tool box or kit

Would Recommend

A true life saver for retrieving screws or other small metal parts that have fallen into a hard to reach space. This particular size takes up very little space and adds no noticeable weight to your EDC or travel kits. Combined with a little larger/stronger version makes for an unbeatable pair and this one is very resonably priced so you can pick up several without breaking the bank.

Great helpful tool!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tool comes in very handu when working on projects. If a screw is dropped into a tight area it allows this tool to reach in and retrieve the screw. The magnet is strong enough to remove it, without being too strong .

Great tool

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This telescopic magnet worked great for a recent project. I was installing new fixtures on an oven. I was switching it from natural gas to propane. I dropped a couple screws deep on the oven and this magnet came in handy to retrieve them from a tight space. I’d recommend others to have one of these handy in their tool kits.

Good for clumsy DIYers

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] One thing about me? I am ALWAYS dropping stuff. Just absolutely constantly, especially when I’m doing some sort of home improvement project. This is a godsend to pick up all the little screws, nuts, etc. I fumble, especially because a girl has back problems and I don’t need to be constantly bending over. I’ve accepted that I will always be clumsy and this is the tool for me. Opens smoothly, picks up things easily and seems like it’ll last forev...

Great tool to use anywhere anytime!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely am loving this telescoping magnetic pickup tool. It is very handy and incredible, especially when you drop a bolt into somewhere tight and awkward. The telescoping feature makes it easy to reach spots that your hands can’t reach The magnet is seriously strong too, strong enough to lift my set of keys, I also used it around the house. Simple tool, great quality, & one I am finding myself using more than I had expected.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this telescoping magnetic pickup tool. It’s super handy and incredibly versatile, especially when you drop a bolt into the engine bay or somewhere tight and awkward. The telescoping feature makes it easy to reach spots your hands can’t. The magnet is seriously strong too, strong enough to lift my heavy set of keys, as shown in one of the photos. Simple tool, great quality, and one I find myself using more than I expected. Defi...

Simple, Smart, and Surprisingly Handy

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you’ve ever dropped a screw, bolt, or nail in the worst possible place, this little tool is a lifesaver. The Craftsman Compact Magnetic Pickup Tool is one of those things you don’t think you need… until you use it once and then wonder how you lived without it. It’s small enough to keep in your pocket or tool bag, but the magnet is surprisingly strong. Whether it’s a bolt that slipped under the hood, a screw that rolled under furniture, or n...

Excellent magnetic tool!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Compact Magnetic Pickup Tool is a must-have around the house. The tool simplifies any search for dropped small metal objects, such as screws, bolts, washers, coins, and wires. The tools is surprisingly lightweight but can extend to about well over two feet in length, and easily retracts back to its original length. I have this tool handy in my pocket for all my projects. I’m impressed that this magnetic tool can pick up objects up to 3 pou...

Great little tool

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a handy tool I didn’t know I needed. It’s small and necessary in your tool bag! Makes picking up dropped parts so much easier, especially when working on my car in tight spaces. The magnet is strong and grabs easily.
