What Customers Are Saying

Customers praise this magnetic pickup tool for its powerful magnet, integrated LED light, and ergonomic telescopic design. Reviewers highlight how the strong magnet relieves frustration by retrieving dropped screws, bolts, and keys from tight spaces, while the LED light illuminates dark or confined areas for precision work. The lightweight, compact handle extends to 31.5 inches and clips easily to pockets, making it ideal for automotive, woodworking, and household tasks. Some report isolated issues with LED battery function or magnet attachment, but most customers consider these minor compared to the tool's overall practicality and reliability.

When you need tiny hands

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this because my husband was always dropping bolts or screw down in his motor.. His hands were to big to fit down to get them out and I was tired of getting them for him and burning my hands. This is the best product to get the items from small spots..

Super handy

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Having the LED Magnetic Pickup Tool has been a lifesaver for us! First, the light is a huge plus to see in dark places. Easily twist the top and the light is bright and amazing. Then you can extend the tool quite a bit out and help grab those dropped nails or screws that may have rolled in hard to reach areas! Seriously this is the best item and always in reach for all of our projects! Highly recommend!

Well made and sturdy.

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After testing the pickup tool for a month or so I couldn’t really find any flaws. When it is at full reach it is still sturdy. Most tools of this type tend to bend with fully extended the tool works well. It also has a super bright led that’s easy to turn on.

Great tool

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This has come in so handy while hanging pictures and curtains. There are so many times I’m on a stool and I drop nails. With this I just have to extend it and pick it up. The tool has also been super helpful when I drop something metal and can’t find it! Most recently I was cleaning out a drawer where nails had spilled. I just rubbed this around the bottom of the drawer and it picked up all the nails. Must have for any tool box!

The light is great!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tool has come in handy so many times already. I have dropped tools, screws, nails, and staples and picked them all up easily with this. The light makes seeing even the smallest nails possible. The narrow, extendable handle reaches into tight areas. The clip is great for clipping on your belt to carry with you and it also keeps it from rolling around when you set it down. The light is nice and bright and easy to twist on and off.

Great Tool

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Perfect little tool for all those dropped sockets and bolts. The light is an added bonus to help find what you dropped. Durable and well made. It is extendable so makes it deep into your engine to retrieve whatever you may have dropped.

Broke Quickly

Would Not Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Might have used this twice, the magnetic tip fell off and will not stay on when I try and put it back together. Needs to have a better weld or screw or something that holds it together. Otherwise this is a great product idea, I liked the light.

Best tool!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this tool while I was building my garden. It's hard to find screws and bolts when you drop them in this sandy soil. Just a sweep with this tool finds them all. I recommend this for any project.

Great asset to my toolbox!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So glad to have this in my tool box. The light and magnetic tip works great in tight spaces. Helps pick up parts that have fallen in tight spaces. Would recommend this tool for your toolbox priced just right.

Handy and fits in back pocket

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Awesome little tool. Works great and easy to pull out of my backpocket when needed. I would have liked it to have been just slightly longer and a better grip however over all does the job as described

Just what you need!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Exactly what you need right when you need it. You'll understand when you need one and don't have it! The next time you drop something in a dark engine bay and can't see or reach whatever it is that you dropped!

Great!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tool comes in real handy when you need a small light in a tight place. I love the magnetic feature on the tool incase you drop a screw or another small metal object, so you can pick it up with ease.

LED Magnetic Pickup Tool

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] LED Magnetic Pickup Tool is great to use. I had one and I loved it. From a move it’s disappeared. This pickup tool has helped me get nuts and bolts that have fallen in and around my car hood. I’ve picked up a bolt I needed that would have fallen out if I drive kfc. The magnet is really strong. So strong it’s held onto anything metal in my car trying to fetch things. Easy to handle and telescopes far out to reach hard to reach nooks and corners...

Definitely handy!!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This has been a great help around our shop and home. We are always working on things and doing projects, so to say this was handy is an understatement. No more having to try and grasp small screws and bolts and washers with my fingers. I just point the magnetic tool to the screw I want and it picks it up! It also has a LED light on it for those hard to see spots. Best of all, the tool fits right into my pocket so I can always carry it with me!!...

You'll love having this tool around your household

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I haven't had the Craftsman LED magnetic pickup tool long, but I already see it is an awesome gadget to have around. There are so many times in the past I could've used this. I recently dropped my keys behind my nightstand. I used the telescopic feature and picked my keys up without moving anything. I was amazed this tool picked my keys up with no difficulty. This tool is easy to use and the telescopic feature with light will make it so much ...

Wish I had this a year ago, great little tool!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Last spring we decided to buy a new grill. While assembling, a CRUCIAL bolt rolled between the deck boards and fell! I could see it but not reach it. It took us entirely too long to get it out, and having this little tool would have saved sooo much time. The second I brought it home I ran out to the deck and dropped something to see how it worked. I had it out in 10 seconds! The telescoping length is awesome, and the magnet is very strong...

It broke on the fourth drop

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was using the Craftsman LED Magnetic Pickup Tool for work since I drop things all the time. I liked the light because it sure helped with finding things behind, or under the machines I use. It was doing great until it fell from my table for the fourth time. The tip broke right off, and it wasn't even glued on, but pinched in place. I tried to fix it myself, but there's not much surface area to work with. I'll have to use some epoxy adhesive.

Perfect little accompany tool!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tool is a great little handy tool to have to help out with projects! The magnet is strong enough to pick up nails, screws, washers, bolts, nuts, and even sockets that are dropped. The neck of the tool extends a good distance and it becomes very long. It even has a built in flashlight which is fantastic. Unfortunately, my tool came where the batteries were already dead and since it has the little "watch" like batteries I didn't have any on ...

Strong magnet with a great light.

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s a tool that you don’t want to have to use, but are happy to have a good one when you do. The LED light makes it really easy to see you when you drop the bolt and you don’t hear it hit the floor. It’s surprisingly bright when you’re in a small dark area. The grip is nice, it holds up to grease and oil really well. So far it does what it supposed to do when I need to do it, no complaints.
