What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise the magnetic sweeper for its powerful performance and ease of use in collecting metal debris from construction projects. Most highlight the strong magnet's ability to reliably pick up nails, screws, and metal fragments from grass, gravel, and concrete with minimal effort. Reviewers commend the telescoping handle extending to 43 inches, rolling wheels, and quick-release mechanism that reduce bending and simplify debris dumping. Many report it outperforms older non-wheeled models and works effectively across diverse environments. A few note occasional concerns about magnet strength in thick weeds or minor assembly issues, but these represent a tiny fraction of feedback. Overall, customers consider it an indispensable tool for workshops and job sites.

Some of the needed screws to finish building our greenhouse went missing in the yard and this sweeper found them all plus more! Great product to have on hand.

It is a magnet. It picks up ferrous metals.

Would Recommend

Reasonable price for a usable tool. I used it once to pick up nails, which it did well. I will probably never need it again.

For hard and level surface only.

Would Not Recommend

it's has a good and strong magnet, perfect for a level shop floor or hard surface driveway. But sits too low for use is grass or uneven ground. It drags very easily and the "items" can get knocked off. There needs to be another handle so it can be picked up to then pull on the release handle

Very strong Magnet

Would Recommend

Great magnet at a decent price. Used it to clean my yard after a roofing job. Picked up nails underneath Sea Grape leaves. Collected over 800 nails in a couple of hours. I would highly recommend it.

Wish I Bought This Years Ago

Would Recommend

Works exactly as intended. Magnet is powerful and the lift-up release completely releases the collected metal in a split second. Bought this after demolition of a small building on my property and glad I did. What it collected, nearly all of it was invisible to the eye, was amazing. Checked all the areas the heavy duty equipment worked as well as around and under the containers. Every time, the release was a WOW! Considering the cost of having a flat fixed (last month I picked up a screw a...
