Magnetic Retrieval Tool for Mechanics

The Mag-Mate tool extends from 36 to 40 inches to reach fasteners in deep engine bays or behind equipment. Its stainless-steel shaft and one-inch magnetic head lift ferrous parts weighing up to eight pounds. A rubber spring-plunger handle gives a secure grip while the safety stripper washer prevents accidental release during retrieval.

Simple Extension with Positive Lock

Pull the spring-loaded plunger to telescope the rigid shaft to the needed length; release it to lock the tube in place. The magnetic head engages instantly on contact with steel components. The only common issue is debris bridging the magnet face, which reduces holding force until wiped clean.

Technicians Needing Reach Without Power

This tool suits automotive and industrial technicians who must recover dropped bolts, sockets or clips from confined spaces where fingers or flexible grabbers cannot reach. It is not for buyers who need to lift non-magnetic materials such as aluminium, brass or plastic fasteners. Builders requiring a powered lift or a flexible snake camera should look at other categories.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the tool holds its full 8 lb magnetic pull after extending it?

Extend the shaft to the 40 1/4 in position, attach an 8 lb ferrous object to the 1 in diameter head, and confirm it lifts without the spring-plunger handle releasing.

What comes in the box and what must I supply separately?

The magnetic retrieval tool itself — featuring a seam-welded stainless-steel tube, rubber spring-plunger handle, safety stripper washer, and 1 in diameter head — ships complete; no additional parts are required.

Which length should I choose between the 36 in compressed and 40 in extended versions?

This single model telescopes from 36 in compressed to 40 1/4 in extended, so you get both reach options in one tool without choosing a separate version.
