Flexible 2-Jaw Retrieving Tool

The Mag-Mate Flexible 2-Jaw Retrieving Tool is a mechanical retrieval device designed for accessing hard-to-reach areas. It features a flexible shaft with a 3/8 in diameter head and two spring steel jaws. The tool is intended for technicians and mechanics who need to retrieve metallic objects from confined spaces.

12 lb Magnetic Pull Capacity

The maximum magnetic pull capacity is 12 lb, which determines the weight of ferromagnetic objects the tool can lift. This specification is the primary factor in deciding whether the tool suits a specific retrieval task. The jaw capacity opens to a maximum of 1 in to grasp compatible items.

Bendable Shaft with Spring Plunger Handle

The steel shaft includes an 8 in flexible section that bends to navigate around obstacles. A spring plunger handle operates the jaws for secure gripping. Users should ensure the object weight does not exceed the magnetic limit and that the jaw opening accommodates the target item.

Questions about this item

How much weight can the 12 lb magnetic pull actually lift inside an engine bay?

The magnet is rated for a maximum 12 lb pull, so it will hold ferrous parts up to that weight when the jaws cannot reach them.

What does the 1 in jaw capacity limit when retrieving a bolt?

The two spring-steel jaws open to a maximum of 1 in, so any object wider than that cannot be gripped mechanically.

Will the 17 in compressed length and 3/8 in head fit through a standard spark-plug hole?

The 3/8 in diameter head and 8 in flexible section are designed to navigate tight openings, but spark-plug holes vary by engine.
