What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this magnetic pickup tool for its powerful magnet and exceptional effectiveness in collecting metal debris. The telescoping handle and lightweight design significantly reduce back strain, with many calling it a "game changer" for driveways, yards, and job sites. Users report collecting 80-100 nails in single passes and successfully navigating grass and gravel surfaces. The tool's portability and easy assembly enhance convenience. A few note the magnet could be stronger for deeply embedded nails, but these minor concerns are vastly outweighed by enthusiastic endorsements from homeowners and contractors alike.

Adequate but nothing special

Tool is ok but there is no release for magneted items. With out htis the magnet area gets all gunked up with fine metal bits. Also it has not gliders or feet to keep it of the floor and reduce friction. Its ok and it gets the job done but its no a good one

Decent magnet

Would Not Recommend

The magnet is plenty strong and does its job. There was no instructions for assembling the wheels but they weren't difficult to put on. The biggest problem is there isn't enough ground clearance and if you use it in the yard the grass brushes the nails and screws right back off. Works great on flat surfaces or even gravel driveways.

Mediocre at best

Would Not Recommend

Not very strong, if your grass is slightly too tall it can pull the metal off the magnet. I am also disappointed in how wonky the release handle feels when you pull it up to release the metal from the bottom.
