Telescoping Magnetic Pickup Tool - 40-Inch Magnet Stick with 50lb Capacity to Safely Retrieve Nails, Screws, and Metallic Objects by Stalwart (Orange)

I read all the reviews because I've seen multiple items that pick up metal like the ones that roll or whatever and I have to agree that this is an amazing product because of the fact that it has a release pull on the handle so that you're not sitting there at the end manually pulling off nails and screws and other things from a strong magnetI highly recommend it I also found it interesting that a lot of the reviews had to do with people cleaning up their yard after a roofing company was there I think that roofing companies need to be made to buy one of these objects and clean up people's damn yards because of roof is expensive and nobody needs holes no tires or stepping on nails it's amazing how many people have the same problem and it was all due to roofers anyway off topic there just thought it was interesting this is a good product It was easy to use it worked well and I can't express how happy I am about the future where it releases the objects from the magnet without me having to do it manually so I love it

The pro’s are it’s a strong magnet on the end of a quite sturdy telescopic type 2-piece extendable pole/tube (rod), that uses a nifty twist action to lock the desired adjustable length. This device paid for itself after 45 minutes use by finding countless rusty nails, screws, and a couple of tools lost in the thick landscape beds located below a large deck restoration project. The main drawback is it’s weight from that heavy-duty capability results in fatigue on the user’s wrist after a little time. I suppose that a more-ergonomic handle design would help with that issue. Also, I found the rod’s twist-locking would come loose occasionally when the magnet head would get caught on the landscape plants I was searching through, but that was mostly resolvable by using a firmer twist-lock force. Not yet sure of the rust resistance level of the rod; more time is needed. All-in-all, a very helpful tool for sure.

Great idea, woks good. Just not sure how the plastic bottom will last after a few drops.

Sturdy and picks up well.

I bought this after we had the roof replaced on our house, and boy am so glad I did.Even though the roofing crew were pretty diligent and got most of the nails, I was able to collect a small pile of additional ones they missed with their larger magnet on wheels. This got all the ones that ended up under a bush or in some crevice or corner that the bigger magnet missed. When your house is re-roofed the nails go everywhere, it is just part of the process, unfortunately.If you have kids or pets, or even just a car, don't just assume the roofers got them all, spend the small amount of money it takes to get this thing and the boring hour or two it takes to sweep around the perimeter of your house carefully. Stepping on a nail or letting it puncture a tire is no fun.So if you are a homeowner, this is the one you buy, because it goes everywhere, meaning you only need one tool to do the entire job. And once you are finished with it, it stores away easily and won't take up much room in your garage or shop.The head is small, meaning it will take you a while if you want to sweep a large area with it. The magnet seems strong enough to pull even nails that I couldn't see out of wood chips, so it is strong enough to do the job.If I had to sweep a large area regularly, I would still buy this, but also invest in one of the bigger sweepers, as it does take a very long time to carefully cover a large area with the small head of this tool. But for occasional/homeowner use or use in a smaller space, this is fine.

Very handy and easy to use. Well made. Promptly mailed. A+++++++

I got this to pickup screws from the yard, and for that it works fine. However, to say this thing has a 50lb capacity is insane, it can’t pickup 20lbs let alone 50. It is a surprisingly weak magnet considering its size. However, for little items like finding screws and staples in your yard it will work.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:This worked great for cleaning up rust on the boat that had fallen into cracks. No painful bending over Strong magnet
