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

Saving My Back...AND My Tires!!

I've used products like this in the past with limited results but this one? This one I like!! Ok...so it helps (or doesn't) that I'm living in a construction zone right now. If you've ever picked up stray nails/fasteners/etc in your tires you know what I'm talking about! This one is great for a few reasons. 1) The handle extends far enough I don't have to bend over! (I'm 6'3"). I can "sweep" an area with this thing and my back doesn't scream at me. (Others I've used were shorter or not strong en...

Quick Work Site Clean Up

Clear large areas of damaging nails, screws and ferrous metal scraps with the Burnur 16-pound magnetic sweeper. After roof, deck, and other building projects, it quickly cleans up surrounding driveways, lawns, garage and shop floors, preventing potential tire damage or injuries.

Overall it’s great.

I used this to find nails and screws in my barn. The floor is dust and the nails are dirty, old and ruste so they are hard to find. I like that it’s adjustable. My kid can have it shorter when he’s doing it and I can keep it longer. I wish the magnet was a little stronger though.

Powerful, lightweight and easy to store.

I like this hand held magnetic pick up tool. I've had a chance to use it several times and it's done a fantastic job. It's great for picking up that odd screw or bolt that runs away from me, while not wasting a bunch of my time looking for it. One of my pics show what I pulled out of my gravel driveway parking area the first time. The handle compacts down to 26" and extends to around 43" long. The magnet surface is 12" wide. The magnet does a good job of picking things up and holding on to...

Great for picking up loose nails

Great product. As advertised. I love the fact that the handle can be extended or contracted with a twist of the wrist. I recently had my house reroofed and the contractor put up netting to catch all the nails and debris. I went around the front and backyard and still picked around 20 nails.

Magnet

Wow this Eighteen inch Magnet Caddy with wheels is great for any job to pick up small metal object like nails from roofing. Very well made durable and professional grade.

Excellent caddy with extremely strong magnet

The magnet in this caddy is surprisingly strong. It picks up nails and other small item, as expected, but also picks up larger items like the pieces of barbed wire and other things you wouldn’t even know were there. This is perfect for post-build projects.

Strong and easy to use.

There were no instructions on how to assemble it, but it was pretty straightforward. It’s very easy to use and releases the nails and screws by just lifting it by the handle. I managed to pick up nails even in the grass. I will safe a lot of time picking up drywall screws on a big job and therefore saving money.

Magnet extender

An excellent magnet tool that extends to reach. This tool is very useful when it comes to picking up metal objects and helping to keep metal pieces together. A good hand around the house or a nice addition to the tool shed.

Great for our shop area

The magnet caddy on wheels was a awesome investment to have on our farm/shop area. Alot easier to use and more powerful magnets than our previous manual magnet. We use it alot outside our shop , where we preform lots of service work and occasionally lose nuts and bolts and metal slag from torching. A few quick passes with the magnet and all is picked up, lift above scrap barrel and lift mag handle and all falls off!

Way more useful than I expected

I intended to use this magnet to pick up metal items in my shop but it turned out to be so practical that I find myself reaching for it often. I like that it collapses small enough that I can tuck it in my toolbox but the magnet is powerful enough to pick up all the nails/shavings etc that I come across. Overall very happy with this item

Gets the job done!

I used this magnet caddy to pick up nails and metal around a metal building I'm adding space to. The caddy was very easy to put together and very lightweight. Honestly, because of how light it was, my expectations were low for how well it would perform. I took it out of the box and put together immediately. Then began rolling it down the shop where I was working. I couldn't believe my eyes! It picked up several old rusty nails on the way that I had no idea was even there! I was already im...

Does exactly what I expected

This works great picks up everything metal, Great in case your child drop something in a sewer if you’re working outside using nails, Doing roofing or something else, Everything just slides right off. This is self-explanatory and easy to use

Must have tool for home or shop.

This is a must have for anyone that does metal working or just needs the ability to find and pickup stray metal. I weld and grind in my shop and this tool was great in finding bits of metal that I couldn't see on the floor. I also used to sift through some recycled soil I had delivered and found some nails hidden. The extendable handle is great for working at different heights, and the magnet is super easy to clean off with its super smooth surfaces. Overall it's a great tool to have around the ...

Magnetic sweeper

This sweeper works very well. It has an adjustable handle. Out of the box the small screws on the bottom of the magnet were loose, but not a big deal. I used it on a gravel surface and lawn. It worked well on both, but adjustable wheel height would have been nice for on grass. My neighbor had their garage reshingled and I picked up all these nails( see photo). The roofers used tarps, but missed a lot. I also used it to sweep the shop floor. It even picked up filings. Overall, I would recommend t...

Easy to assemble magnet caddy with wheels

Great magnet caddy, its the prefect size and lighweight. Durable and easy to assemble. Extenable handle allows for Adjustable length Great magnet strenght, picked up a line of screws quickly however does not pick up stainless steel screws. I would reccommend this product especially for roofers. Quick, safety nail pick up after any job. Wheels are well made and extra strong, rolls seamlessly.

Practical tool

Great product to have on the jobsite. Every contractor should have one of these especially if you are building like I do on residential streets. You'll have more friends if they don't lose a tire because of your messy jobsite!

Great quality pickup tool

This is a good quality magnetic pickup tool. The length and head are adjustable which is a big plus. The size (width) is pretty much standard. The magnet is pretty strong. Well made.

Time will tell

Got this for job sites to help with clean up after framing. I've had a nail magnet for years but this one has wheels and i thought maybe it would be a bit eaiser than trying to hover over the nails with the one i had. Overall i think it should work well but mine came with one of the wheels off and I had to take it all apart to reattach it. Maybe a bit of a poor design. The wheelsare bolted through the side of the box and you have to take the whole side off to fix it. I fixed one side, put i...
