Magnetic Retrieval Tool for Tight Spaces
The Mag-Mate IM72-30 is a fixed-shaft magnetic pick-up tool designed to retrieve ferrous metal objects from hard-to-reach areas. Its 32-inch length allows access deep inside engine bays, behind machinery or within wall cavities. A permanent magnet provides a maximum pull capacity of 5 lb for secure retrieval. The T-handle release mechanism lets the user drop collected items quickly.
Fixed Shaft Limits Reach and Storage
The tool uses a fixed shaft with a compressed length of 32 inches, so it cannot telescope shorter for compact storage or extend further for extra reach. Users must accommodate the full length in a toolbox or on a pegboard. The steel handle and fixed shaft construction prioritise rigidity over adjustability. Buyers who need a collapsible or extendable tool for variable depths should consider a different design.
5 lb Magnetic Pull Capacity
The permanent magnet is rated for a maximum pull of 5 lb, which determines the weight of ferrous parts it can reliably lift. This capacity suits small fasteners, sockets, drill bits and similar shop debris. Heavier components such as large wrenches, cast brackets or starter motors will exceed the magnet's holding force. Select this tool only when the typical retrieved items fall within the 5 lb limit.

Questions about this item
Which length version of the Mag-Mate IM72-30 should I choose?
The tool is offered in a single 32-inch compressed length, so there is no alternative size to select.
What does the 5 lb magnetic pull mean when I am working under a vehicle?
It will lift ferrous items weighing up to 5 lb, such as dropped bolts or sockets, but heavier parts will not hold.
How does the fixed shaft and T-handle release affect daily use?
The fixed shaft keeps the 32-inch reach constant, and the T-handle release drops the load instantly with one thumb press.
