SKU CH-M4YY-FSG2C

  • Product typeTelescoping
  • Telescopes to 29 in for deep reach
  • Rare-earth magnet lifts 20 lb ferrous parts
  • Collapses to 16.5 in for compact storage
  • Cushioned rubber grip reduces hand fatigue
  • Corrosion-resistant steel shaft withstands shop conditions

What It Is

This Mag-Mate magnetic retrieval tool uses a rare-earth magnet rated for 20 lb pull. The shaft telescopes from 16.5 in to 29 in and is made of corrosion-resistant steel with a cushioned rubber handle.

When to Upgrade

It replaces a fixed-length pickup tool when you need extra reach behind equipment or inside deep cavities. The jump is worth it if your current tool cannot span the distance between the compressed and extended lengths.

Installation and Pitfalls

No installation is required; extend the shaft until it locks and engage the magnet. The most common issue is the magnet attaching to unintended ferrous surfaces before you position it over the target.

Questions about this item

What is the compressed length of the shaft, and will it fit in my 16.5-inch tool tray?

The shaft compresses to 16.5 in, so it fits any tray or drawer at least that deep. The rubber-cushioned handle adds a small extra length at the end.

How do I extend the telescoping shaft without bending it?

Pull the shaft straight out until it locks at each detent; forcing it at an angle can jam the steel sections.

Can the rare-earth magnet lose its 20 lb pull over time, and is the head replaceable?

Rare-earth magnets retain strength for decades under normal use. The magnet head is fixed to the shaft and not user-replaceable.
