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.

worth every penny...

Would Recommend

Bought this after watching the guys clean up after new roof install. They were just too casual with an underpowered magnetic "wand". I came home next day with this, and picked up probably 80-100 nails in my front yard, and about 20 in the backyard where they were folding up their tarps. I didn't complain. I just knew I had to go over it more thoroughly. Zero-turn tires (or repairs) are not cheap. $60 now, was the choice for me.

Works great

Would Recommend

This is great for small jobs. Gets the job done. Wish I had bought a larger one. You can't go wrong with this one. The handle adjusts so you can put it away in a small space.

It works great

Works great. Picked up 168 nails after the roofers swept the yard with 4 hand held magnets. It worked best on low cut, level yard.

After severe storm damage had to have multiple repairs on my home. I noticed several nails in my driveway after a construction cruise left. Purchased this lightweight magnet and picked up dozens and dozens of nails screws and metal scraps. very lightweight and easy to use. Definitely save me money possible tire damage.

Worked great

Would Recommend

Used to clean up an area of our new house that the previous owner dumped rotting sections of privacy fence. Needed to use it to go over the area for nails and screws so the dogs and us didnt step on any. Worked great, easy to adjust to the right height/angle.
