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.

Strong magnet

Would Recommend

Very strong magnet! Picks up nails/screws with ease and easy to release the picked up metal. Assembly was very simple, just attached the wheels and handle and you're ready to go.

Would Recommend

Just what I need after redoing the roof. Perfect for picking up nails and other metal pieces on the ground and especially in the grass and dirt. Extension handle is very convenient.

Weak Magnet, Returned After One Attempted Use

Would Not Recommend

I bought this magnet sweeper to clean up my driveway after some carpentry work and was thoroughly disappointed, to the extent I immediately returned it after one use. At first, I was excited to find this sweeper with the extendable pole, but I did notice in the store that it didn't come with any kind of cover over the magnet to easily remove the debris it picked up, once finished sweeping.
