Ratings & Reviews for Project Source 18-in Steel Magnetic Sweeper

A tool I needed but didn’t know

Well this is pretty impressive using this. The handle extends which is nice and the strength of the magnet is very strong. I just use it to pickup nails and screws in my driveway where I do my work and works perfect took picture just to show the impressive strength of the magnet. The nails jump off the driveway and stick to this ,sure beats sweeping or blowing them somewhere else. The head adjusts also so nice tool . If I loose this I’ll buy another one cause it saves me flat tires and will pay ...

Easy use, easy to store

This worked well to pick up loose hardware and tools from the floor, even ones in deep cracks, and heavier bolts, while still being easy to clear off. The extension handle makes it easy to use and store, and the ability to adjust the angle of the head allows it to be stored right on the side of my toolbox.

Powerful

I do a lot of woodworking as well as doing a lot of mechanic work. I never really picked anything in my garage. I used this magnet and it was like sweeping carpet. It picked up all the nails and screws. Strong magnet!

Effective and very easy to grab pieces

This magnet caddy is very effective in doing the job. It’s very smooth is picking up from small to big to all magnetic pieces. You need to roll it once and it will grab anything under its reach. Releasing the grab pieces is easier as well , you just need to lift the handle and 99% grabbed pieces will fall down. It doesn’t come with a manual. So to attach it , you simply need to put the rod and tighten with the screw on top. Similarly with wheels, they go on sides. It’s light to roll around due ...

Great for picking up nails and screws

This magnet delivers for picking up small metal screws, bits, nails or anything that will pop your vehicle’s tires. I found 3 different types of screws and nails in my vehicles tires this last oil change when my tires were rotated. I will be using this to grab anything that might be trouble in my garage and driveway in the future

Heavy Duty Magnetic Power Pick Up Tool

This tool is amazing. I have had several magnets for spills around the house but this is the best one so far. The reason I say this is because the magnetic head is nice and smooth which means when clearing up after metal working, the metal filing are picked up easily and can be wiped off with a cloth. With other magnets they get into the seams and cannot be removed. The handle has a hole to allow it to be hung up on a wall. The handle extends to enable you to clear items off a floor comfortable...

Very Powerful Tool!

I love how easy and efficiently this tool works! The magnet is very strong and has a large facing that helps pick up a high volume of material. It’s light in weight but is very well made to handle various types of jobs. Overall, I’m extremely pleased with this tool and expect it to last a very long time!

If you have a driveway then you need this!

If you have a driveway, you need this. It's mainly used for picking up nails, screws, bolts and anything else that is small and magnetic - virtually anything that will put a hole in one of your tires. All the other models that I have seen had wheels on them and the magnet was suspended in the air. This design might be a little better because it almost forces you to drag the head on the ground - which really isn't all that of a bad idea. When testing this, I ran it at 3 heights, about 4", 2" and ...

Simple and handy magnetic pick-up tool.

The Project Source magnetic pick-up tool is a basic, yet functional solution for retreiving dropped fasteners and nails during construction. At 12" wide, the head is compact enough to work around and under obstacles and bushes. The adjustable handle is easy to operate and allows for comfortable use, while collapsing for storage. Its small size easily stores inside of a work vehicle for small clean up projects. The strength of the magnet is ok, but it has a hard time getting nails that have falle...

Pickup Objects With Ease

Easiest way to pickup a bulk amount of magnetic objects at once. The integrated release handle mechanism helps to easily dispose of all objects in a quick easy manner.

I wish I knew this thing existed sooner.

We had a shed taken down and nails and debris was scattered all over the yard. I couldn't believe how many nails this thing picked up. The only thing that would make it better was if the handle was a little longer.

Good magnetic pick up tool for casual backyard use

This magnetic power pick up tool seems to be durable and well made. The large bar magnet is attached to a telescoping rod that can be easily extended from 2’ to 4’ and locked into place by rotating the handle. To me, the magnet itself does not seem to be very strong, but it does seem to be sufficient to pick up nails laying on the top of grass or other debris. If you need to search in thick grass this may not be the tool for you. I searched around a building where my kids had used a lot of screw...

Really strong magnets

I was surprised at how well this caddy worked. I use it for worksites and so far has been working great! It comes disassembled in a box but was very easy to assemble if you know your way around tools. Best part is that it’s not too big. Easy to throw in my truck. Highly recommend!

Great product

This magnet fits into tight spaces well and picks up even the smallest of nails well. Impressed with the flexibility of this particular style magnet. Definitely helpful,

Works great

Worked just as expected. Used to pickup nails out of the lawn. Very effective what more would one need. It does exactly what it should. Very strong magnetic field

Highly recommend this.

What an amazing piece of equipment. I have kust finished building a great shed with nails and screws. I have grass around the new shed location and this thing picked up every nail from the construction dropped onto the grass.

Great (not so) Little Magnetic Helper!

This magnetic sweeper (aka Magnet Caddy) was easy to assemble, even though I could not locate any instructions. It is well-designed, featuring a sturdy aluminum base. Thanks to its large wheels and 18-inch width, it is also suitable for outdoor use, such as cleaning up construction sites. When you are finished collecting fasteners, simply move the sweeper over a trash can and lift the handle. This would shift the magnets away from the non-ferrous base, allowing all metal debris to fall away eff...

High quality lightweight magnetic pickup tool.

The heavy duty magnetic power pickup is a very high quality, compact tool used for picking up any metal around the jobsite or home. It has a telescoping handle, it is lightweight, and easy to use.

Strong and powerful

I had another one of these from an offbrand and in comparison with this one, the other one fails miserably this magnet is super strong and durable. Looking forward to picking up metal with it for many years to come.
