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

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...

Missing it

The first thing one will notice is there is a lack of instructions but for the most part the assembly is self explanatory until it comes time to connect the wheels. At this point you can stop as there aren’t enough parts to assemble it without the wheels being cockeyed. Then you will have to buy spacers, washers or other components to properly assemble the unit. Once you get the parts it should come with, you can assemble and the magnet works great.

Great Product to Save Time

So we just finished our house and had a metal roof put on. Needless to say they left screws all over around the house on the ground. I wasn't about to walk around and try to find and pick up each one, so I figured I'd try one of these. Wow did it make my life easier. Very durable and well built, rolls real easy even on dirt and grass. Very strong magnet easily picked up the screws with no issue.

It picks up metal!!!

It picks up metal.

Well make works awesome and cuts work time

The best wheeled magnet I have ever used. It was so strong it was picking up all the screws and didn’t me me think that I was missing com. Big wheels make it easy to roll on all types of terrain. And wit the easy lift handle to drop you load is awesome

Nice magnet tool!

Tool is a good weight, easy to use, the wheels are made to run in different kinds a grounds. Easy to store and picks up like it should. Makes a job better!

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 ...
