Magnetic Retrieval Tool with Integrated Light

This Westward magnetic pickup is designed for mechanics and technicians who need to retrieve ferrous fasteners or small parts from confined, poorly lit spaces. The built-in illumination lets you locate the target before engaging the magnet, reducing time spent fishing blindly in engine bays or behind panels.

Lighted Probe Reach and Pull Limit

The flexible probe extends to 16-1/2 inches, setting the practical reach for retrieval tasks. Magnetic pull capacity is rated at 2 lb, so the tool will only hold lightweight ferrous items; heavier bolts or assemblies will not stay attached during withdrawal.

Compatibility Check Before Ordering

Verify that the 1/4 inch probe diameter can pass through the access holes in your equipment. Confirm that the 2 lb pull force matches the weight of the parts you typically recover. Ensure the hard plastic grip suits your preferred handling style and that the stainless steel construction meets any workplace material requirements.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the lighted version or a non-lighted magnetic pickup?

The lighted version includes an integrated lamp on the probe, so you can see inside dark engine bays or behind equipment while retrieving ferrous parts.

What does the 2 lb pull rating mean when I am fishing for a dropped bolt?

It indicates the maximum holding force on clean, flat steel; irregular shapes, paint, or gaps will reduce the effective grip in practice.

How does the flexible probe affect reach and control?

The 16-1/2 in. flexible shaft bends around obstructions while the 4-1/2 in. handle gives a firm grip for precise positioning.
