Zoro Select 10E742 Magnetic Pick-Up Tool

Magnetic Retrieval Tool with Telescoping Shaft

The Zoro Select 10E742 is a magnetic pick-up tool built for technicians and DIY users who need to retrieve ferrous metal parts from tight or hard-to-reach spaces. Its telescoping shaft extends from 6-3/8 inches to 25 inches, while a neodymium magnet provides up to 3 lb of pull capacity. A knurled handle ensures a secure grip during use, and the transparent colour aids visibility in dim conditions.

Replaces Fixed-Length Pick-Up Tools

This tool upgrades from fixed-length magnetic wands that cannot reach deep cavities or adjust to varying clearances. The telescoping design makes the jump worthwhile whenever a fastener falls behind an engine block, inside a cabinet, or down a narrow pipe where a rigid shaft cannot manoeuvre. The integrated magnetic scribe adds marking capability, reducing the need to switch between separate retrieval and layout tools.

Simple Extension and Locking Operation

Extend the shaft to the required length, then twist the knurled sections to lock it in position before inserting the 5/16-inch head into the target area. The most common issue occurs if the locking mechanism is not fully tightened, allowing the shaft to collapse under the weight of a retrieved part. Debris on the magnet face can also reduce holding force, so wiping the head clean before each use maintains the rated 3 lb pull.
