A Very Useful Tool!
by Glycon (5 out of 5 stars)

I work with a lot of small parts in my hobbies. This magnet is very useful for retrieving them when they get adrift, especially if in some hard to get to place like under my workbench. You don't even need to see the parts to retrieve them. Just extend the wand, move it about where you think the part is, and often it will be retrieved without further problem. Very useful!

I don't believe anyone is gong to be picking up 15 pounds with this magnet, it's not designed for that. However, it's plenty strong for hobby use, and will lift a standard hammer, and at least three pounds, see pictures. It will lift lots of parts, but you will likely break the wand if you regularly try to lift heavy things.

I received a similar tool years ago as a gift and it was very useful. However, I didn't take good care of it and the wand sections began to stick together, eventually pulling apart. If I had occasionally wiped a bit of WD-40 or some persistent lubricant like Break Free CLP on the wand, no doubt it would still be working fine. I highly recommend that if you buy this or any similar telescoping tool, you keep the wand lubricated. I kept the head of the old tool, still with plenty of magnetism, to hold small parts while working on this or that. That has an advantage of slightly magnetizing the parts, and then they will then hold on the end of a screwdriver making them easier to work with.

In summary, this is a very useful little tool. If used with its design abilities (don't try to lift 15 pounds!) and occasionally lubricated, it will last a long time.

It is poorly held poorly constructed and I would not recommend this item

Received this a couple days ago and after extending and retracting the magnet rod it broke. Specifically the river bolting the rod extensions together. It is poorly held poorly constructed and I would not recommend this item period

They come in handy around the home, shop, auto, etc.

I just received my 3rd and 4th order of these magnets. They come in handy everywhere. The magnets are reasonably strong. The problem is that I keep loosing them, so I ordered a double pack this last time. They came in today.

A few examples of how I use them:
1. Drop a metal hanger dropped behind the washer or dryer? Pull this out and retrieve it.
2. Drop a socket or screw while working on the auto engine that ends up someplace between where you dropped it and the ground, but it doesn't hit the ground. It gets lodged in-between. Retrieve it with one of these.
3. Working with tiny 2 mm and 3 mm screws or nuts when working on an electronic project, and you drop one in the carpet. Finding it is sometimes nearly impossible. Pull one of these out and they seem to appear out of nowhere.
4. Everyone knows that tiny objects dropped in the grass are nearly impossible to find. If the that object is metal, than you have a much better chance of finding it with one of these.

I have stronger magnets. But they are not as handy as these are with their telescoping handles.

5 star. This is a really strong magnet.
by ND (5 out of 5 stars)

This thing is crazy powerful. I love it. Have used it several times. This is 100% a five star produce. I was installing a aftermarket stereo in my wife's car and lost one of the screws in between her seat and center console. Ended up fishing out the screw with this. When I was done I stuck this to the roof of the car and totally forgot about it. Ended up driving to the airport that night to pick someone up 35 miles away and 70 mph on the interstate for most of the trip. When I got to the airport this thing was still stuck in the exact same spot I had stuck it to. I figured that the air pushing against it would have moved it a little bit but no. This thing was in the EXACT spot I had put it in earlier that day. As soon as I saw that I knew this thing was getting a 5 star review. I have used for several other annoying screw loss spots and it functions just as well. If you are looking for a good pickup tool this is it. Just get it and forget about looking at another one. This is rock solid.

Very strong but not very slim
by Traveling Attorney (5 out of 5 stars)
February 22, 2011

I recently ordered this magnet pickup to use for one main purpose: the movers knocked over my tool chest and a bunch of nuts, bolts, and wrenches flew under my stove. I bought this pickup in order to go in there and get them. I went with the heavy 15 lb because I wanted to make sure it could handle all the wrenches down there, and because overkill is always fun.

What I didn't consider was the size of the head. It's at least an inch in diameter, so if you have a very small space you need to fit into, this won't work for you. There are of course benefits to having the big head, but it is just something to be aware of.

Quality wise, the pickup is better than I expected. The rubberized handle feels nice in the hand and the telescoping shaft was sturdy...only minimal bend when fully extended. The magnet is very strong, I didn't have weights to test but I would believe at least 15 pounds. When poking around under my stove to get the nuts and bolts, the head occasionally latched on to a metal portion of the stove and I had to pull fairly hard to get it back.

As long as you don't need to fit into very slim places, I can't imagine a better pickup.

Good Little Tool - (Upgrade your replacement)
by THA D IN A-TOWN (5 out of 5 stars)

I think every tool box, tool bag, and maybe on your person should have a tape measure, a telescoping magnet. a Sharpie, and a flashlight; but that's just me. I'm not as young as I used to be, and you get the picture. I hate wallowing around like a beached Orca, just to get up to get something that easily could have been close by.

I got this as an add-on item, and am pleased with it. The more I use it, the more I appreciate it. I thought it would be comparable to the ones within the price range at the parts house or hardware store; but it is better. I look at those when I'm at the store and now I think they are crap. This has a better feel in the hand, and is much sturdier than those that I have seen and touched. The telescoping is a bit stiff and I expected that stiffness to loosen up with use. It hasn't so far, and now that stiffness is one of the things I appreciate about it. You extend it X inches, and for the most part it stays extended X inches.

Do notice in the item description it has a 15 lb. PULL capacity, not lift capacity. I haven't done any Myth Busters testing, but it will pull that brake caliper from over there to right here. It is good for passing parts or nuts and bolts when my son is working in a wheel well, and I'm supervising from over here. As far as lifting capacity, I don't know what it would be rated at. I have picked up some heavier things and lifted in the horizontal and it stressed my wrist more than it stressed the telescoping tubing.

My son's went missing, and I thought I'd get a couple more before mine went missing too. He needs one for his work truck and also for his garage. I almost went with the 2-fer offer (notice the "Size" radio button in the listing), but then among the recommendations was also a slim Tekton one, and there is also a bundle offer of one of this SE, and one of the slim Tekton. One of each equals more versatility. So that is the current order preference for me.

SIZE:

This is about an 1-1/3" in diameter. It's not in the item description, but is in the specs tab. You will notice many round items from China or Taiwan listing by circumference instead of diameter. I do not think I have met a single person who wouldn't use diameter. It is bizarre to me, but might just be a cultural thing. (Excel spreadsheets will offer to plot a "radar chart" and the Japanese love them and think they are intuitive. I look at a radar chart and see an incomprehensible spider web.)

This is about 7" in length when collapsed. Fits well in corner of front or hip pocket of jeans.

MATERIAL:

Like I said earlier, the grip feels good in the hand. some texture for traction, and a Goldilocks amount of cushion. The shafting is stainless, but I do not know the alloy. It has not flash rusted, so it is not 400-series. (400 has good strength, but it has enough free ferric in it that it rusts and it is still called stainless. Go figure.) The magnet is set in the knurled sheath, and it has gotten some good whacks and is still seated fine.

SE and TEKTON brands:

For the most part, I have been satisfied with these brands. If you are of a certain age, the phrases "Made in China" or "Made in Taiwan" causes some hesitation due to quality issues from the past, or if you want to buy American. Good reasons. However, you'll be hard pressed to find this at anything near this price point that is wholly sourced from the US; and also anything short of Critical Service, like an oil refinery or gas cracking plant, or a rotary tool's SOLOOP branded saw blade mandrel*, should be okay with Chinese or Taiwanese metals. [* see my other review about that unfortunate little purchase. It could have gone very bad. I should have read through all the reviews.]

I do have an unrelated ding against Tekton. their deep well 1/4" drive sockets do not have a recess in the receiver end to accept the detent ball that most socket extensions have, including their own extensions. Odd omission on their part; but hey, if you use those you'll want a telescoping magnetic retrieval tool to go find that socket!

Not long lasting
by Speed (1 out of 5 stars)

This seemed great when I got it. Exactly what I wanted. I didn't use this much, but it's nice to have when needed. However, about the fifth time I used it, it just fell apart. I had it fully extended, searching for a screw, then the bottom just fell off.

Almost too much!
by GSD (5 out of 5 stars)
June 7, 2015

Wow this little magnet has some pull! Almost too much! This pick-up magnet has a lot of pull for the size. Maybe too much for some needs. when trying to slip in to tight metal places this thing grabs any metal it comes close to. But for picking up items you'll appreciate the strong magnet. I dropped a bolt inside the frame of a vehicle I was working on. It took me several tries since the powerful magnet kept trying to grab the surrounding metal before I could reach the bolt, tight shot. But once I was close no doubt, it grabbed and wouldn't let go. I had a less powerful version of this and it too worked fine, except that one day I was in a hurry and pulled to hard and pulled the extension apart and ruined the tool. So becareful when extending the wand, not to fast or hard! Thanks amazon for another good product and service.

Recommended - It's a solid little tool.
by J. Kester (5 out of 5 stars)

It's a solid magnetic retrieval tool. So far I'm very happy with it.

Is it a rare earth (Neodymium) magnet? To get the 15 lbs pull force that this thing advertises, it'd almost have to be. I'd have to scrape/damage mine to see if it's nickle plated neodymium to find out. Sorry, not doing that on purpose. This said, as strong as this unit is, it wouldn't surprise me to find out that it is.

Will it really hold 15 lbs? I can't say. I will say is that it holds considerable weight. It picked up a 25" Snap-on ratchet and a 2' crowbar with ease. The ratchet weighs in at a little over 5 lbs and the crowbar probably weighs a little more then that. This is way more weight then I think I'll ever need to pick up with it. If you need to pick up something bigger/heavier then a 25" ratchet, you might want to look into an alternative (mechanical claw) solution.

It is shielded and appears to be designed well.

Falls apart in weeks, if not days.
by JR (1 out of 5 stars)

Not good at all. Lasted about 10 days before pulling the telescoping mechanism popped one of the rods out of the pick-up. Then another. Then another. I'm not a forceful, pull out my magnetic picker-uper as fast as possible person. I just pulled one end until it was open, and after a few times, as I pulled one end, the other one came off, irreparable.
