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

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.

Powerful magnet

This product I really like it’s very powerful works great great for picking up roofing tacks out it yard after roofing job is completed i em would definitely buy this product agt

The Power Pick Magnet

The Power Pick Magnet is a simple device with a pivoting magnet hooked on an adjustable pole handle. It is great for sweeping metal from the yard and shop floor. It also comes in handy for picking up dropped keys and metal utensils. I recommend wearing leather gloves before removing nails and screws from the powerful magnet. This Power Pick Magnet is a very handy device.

Strong magnet

This is one of most powerful magnets I have. I can pickup crow bars and pulls nails out of the woods easily. Very happy with it extension is perfect length

Large Magnet Pole Type

This Project Source power magnet expands to 43 inches and has a magnet face of about 12 inches (approximately). I have an older smaller round magnet which works well but the small round head takes forever to clear a large area. The larger head on the project source is much better in terms of covering a larger area quickly. It does pick up any ferrous (iron) based metals well. Obviously, it will not work for metals that do not contain iron which is just how magnets work. The other nice asp...

Must-have for any metal/welding shop!

I thought at first that this tool would be overpowered in my welding shop, but I was mistaken! It is perfect. Little metal bits and pieces that often get stuck in the bristles of my broom are now a breeze to pick up. It is especially good for cleaning near the drill press! Anyone with a metal shop should consider one of these tools! I got it at first to pick up errant screws/nails when I'm done with projects on site, but it has soon become a shop staple. Sturdy construction and sleek profile. I ...

Effective tool

The product is useful and very effective when needed to retrieving things from places you cannot reach. Very strong magnet that can carry good amount of weight.

Could use a release feature

Good strength on the magnet. I thought there was a more prominent release action to remove items instead of having to scrape the debris, screws, whatever off. I do like having something that stores better than the larger wheeled ones.

STRONG PORTABLE MAGNET

THIS IS THE STRONGEST STICK MAGNETIC I HAVE EVER USED. THIS IS WHAT EVERYONE WITH A GARAGE OR WORKS WITH FASTENERS, NAIL,OR SCREWS NEEDS. VERY PORTABLE.
