Overview - Magnetic Swarf Wand

The Magnetic Pick-Up Wand is a long-reach retrieval tool designed to help users safely and efficiently pick up ferrous metal items from floors, work areas, machinery, tight spaces, and hard-to-access locations without bending or stretching. Featuring a strong permanent magnet at the end of an extended wand, this tool provides dependable magnetic attraction to collect screws, nuts, bolts, washers, pins, metal shavings, and other ferrous components with ease.

Engineered for workshop, garage, industrial, and maintenance use, the pick-up wand enhances productivity and safety by enabling operators to retrieve dropped or misplaced metal parts without having to reach into dangerous, awkward, or confined spaces. Its lightweight yet robust construction makes the Magnetic Pick-Up Wand ideal for professionals and DIY enthusiasts who regularly work with small metal components.


Typical Applications

The Magnetic Pick-Up Wand is commonly used for:

  • Retrieving dropped screws, nuts, and fasteners from floors and benches

  • Collecting metal debris and fragments around machinery and workstations

  • Picking up ferrous parts in confined or hard-to-reach spaces

  • Workshop, garage, and maintenance tasks where bending or kneeling is impractical

  • Automotive, engineering, and fabrication environments for efficient metal pickup

Its long-reach design and strong magnetic attraction make it suitable for a wide range of everyday and professional retrieval needs.


Why Choose a Magnetic Pick-Up Wand

The Magnetic Pick-Up Wand combines extended reach, strong magnetic attraction, and ergonomic use to deliver a practical solution for metal retrieval. The permanent magnet tip ensures reliable pickup of ferrous items, while the elongated wand design reduces strain and improves access to difficult areas. This tool is ideal for anyone who needs a quick, convenient, and safe way to collect metal parts and debris during work or maintenance tasks.
