METAL PICKUP TOOL
- The query "METAL PICKUP TOOL" typically refers to a magnetic pickup tool (also known as a retrieval wand, swarf sweeper, or telescoping magnet), a versatile hand tool used to retrieve ferrous metal objects like screws, nuts, bolts, clips, or debris from hard-to-reach areas. These tools are essential for mechanics, welders, fabricators, and DIY enthusiasts working in automotive repairs, engine bays, or workshops, where dropping small parts into tight spaces is common. They prevent injuries from sharp metal scraps and save time on retrieval. Common types include telescoping wands, flexible claw grabbers, and rigid magnets with release mechanisms.
- Key Specifications (Typical for Standard Models)
- Powerful Magnet: Neodymium or ceramic magnets securely lift metal items without direct contact; ideal for wet/dry environments like oil-filled engine compartments or machine coolant tanks.
- Telescoping/Flexible Design: Extends to reach deep crevices (e.g., behind dashboards or under sinks); flexible models bend around obstacles for 360° access.
- Quick-Release Mechanism: Slide lever or button demagnetizes to drop items safely into bins, preventing scratches on delicate surfaces.
- Versatile Applications: Automotive (retrieving dropped tools), welding (clearing swarf/chips), crafting (picking up beads/screws), or household (grabbing keys from drains); not suitable for non-ferrous metals (use claw-only grabbers for aluminum/copper).
- Safety and Durability: Ergonomic handles reduce strain; stainless construction withstands corrosion and impacts.
