Magnetic Retrieval Tool with 12 lb Pull
This Mag-Mate tool extends from 13 to 26 inches to reach dropped ferrous parts in tight spaces. A rare-earth magnet rated for 12 lb of pull holds nuts, bolts and small components securely. The rigid steel shaft telescopes smoothly and locks at the needed length. A cushioned rubber grip reduces hand fatigue during prolonged use.
Practical Limits of a Telescoping Magnet
The 12 lb magnetic pull is the maximum holding force; heavier items will detach if lifted vertically. Reach tops out at 26 inches, so deeper cavities remain inaccessible without additional tools. The half-inch head diameter fits many openings but cannot enter smaller bores. Swivel action helps alignment yet adds no extra reach beyond the stated extension.
Upgrading from Fixed-Length Pickup Tools
This replaces a rigid magnetic wand that cannot adjust its length or angle. The telescoping shaft covers multiple reach scenarios with one tool, reducing the need to carry several fixed lengths. The jump is worthwhile when jobs regularly vary between shallow and deep access points. It does not suit non-magnetic materials or loads exceeding the 12 lb rating.

Questions about this item
Is the 12 lb magnetic pull capacity strong enough for typical workshop retrieval tasks?
The rare-earth magnet rated at 12 lb pull will lift most dropped nuts, bolts, sockets and small hand tools encountered in automotive or general workshop work.
How does the 13 in to 26 in telescoping range affect reach in tight engine bays?
Collapsed at 13 in it fits in a tool pouch; extended to 26 in it reaches deep into engine compartments or behind cabinets without needing a separate extension rod.
Does the 1/2 in diameter swivel head limit the size of ferrous objects it can grab?
The 1/2 in rare-earth magnet head contacts only a small surface area, so it lifts compact items like fasteners easily but cannot envelop large flat plates or irregular heavy castings.
