Blue Spot Tools Spot 07327 2lb Pick Up Tool

I was surprised how well made this is, given the price. Magnet is easily strong enough to pick up small items (screws etc.), and the telescopic action works well. Probably not sturdy enough for regular mechanic type use, but for DIY use it's great.

The Blue Spot tool is spot on! It has impressive pickup power for such a small magnet. I’ve used it to retrieve many bolts that dropped into awkward spaces, and it’s never let me down. A surprisingly strong and handy tool to have in your kit.

Good tool. Good price. A bit more flexible than previous ones and if you bend it picking up something heavy or when closing it it stays bent.

perfect for dropped keys etc

Quality little tool. Super easy to use and works great.

Very handy for getting screws & bolts out of awkward positions and saves dropping them in hard to reach areas of a car engine. Definitely recommend for the toolbox!

I ordered this for picking up sewing pins and needles etc. It will do for that purpose but is really not suitable for anything heavier such as tools like spanners etc. It is thin and would bend very easily. The magnetic is ok for my purposes but I doubt its strong enough to search for a lost pin or needle as the pins have to be touching it for it to attach to them at all.

I liked the look of this because of the small head. There's no point in have a magnetic tool which can't access tight places. It really is the size of a pen and can stay in your pocket.It only picks up about 900grams according to specs. However as long as it can collect small screws it's fine for me. As it happens it's quite strong. See the picture. That's a compact steel scissors and although there's a sweet spot for the strongest strength, it manages to hold it. So it's strong enough for my needs. If you need to it to be able to hold a bunch of keys, this may do the job provided you believe your key are unlikely to weigh more than 900grams.It extended upto 50cm which is not hugely long but again good enough for me .So if you just want something to find a screw around the room this is more than enough.
