Product Information

Full details

The Jonard Tools MagneTriever Magnetic Retrieval System Kit (MRS-24) is designed for technicians and DIY enthusiasts who need to retrieve small metal objects from tight or inaccessible spaces. Its primary benefit is the powerful magnetic retrieval capability combined with a flexible retriever that can snake through narrow openings. A potential limitation is the reliance on magnetic attraction, meaning non-metallic objects cannot be retrieved with the magnetic components.

FAQs

What is the maximum weight the magnets can hold?

The magnets are rated as 'super-strong Neodymium,' but specific weight limits vary based on the object's size, shape, and surface contact. For critical retrievals, test the holding power with a similar object first.

Can the flexible retriever be used with liquids?

While the materials are generally durable, it is best to avoid prolonged submersion in liquids to prevent potential long-term damage or corrosion to internal components or magnet coatings.

What size access hole is required for the flexible retriever?

The flexible magnetic retriever can navigate through access holes as small as 1/4 inch in diameter.

Does the kit include instructions for using the ball chain through walls?

The kit includes an eyelet and stop ring for the ball chain, facilitating its use through wall cavities. Specific installation techniques may vary based on the wall's construction.

How long is the telescoping pocket retriever?

The telescoping pocket retriever extends up to 18 inches and collapses down to 4 inches.

Is the retrieval hook magnetic?

No, the MRS-RH20 is an expandable hook designed for non-magnetic retrieval or to secure objects that the magnetic retriever cannot hold.

What is the weight of the entire kit?

The entire kit weighs approximately 0.26 pounds.

Troubleshooting

Magnetic retriever not picking up objects

Ensure the object is made of ferrous metal. Verify the magnets are clean and free of debris. For larger or non-ferrous objects, use the included retrieval hook.

Ball chain gets stuck in wall/pipe

Gently try to maneuver the chain. Ensure the stop ring is properly attached. If severe resistance is met, do not force it; try an alternative retrieval method.

Retrieval hook is difficult to extend/retract

Ensure the hook mechanism is free of dirt and debris. Gently operate the extension mechanism. If stiffness persists, a light lubricant designed for tools may be applied sparingly to the telescoping sections.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effectively retrieves small ferrous metal objects from very tight spaces.
  • Flexible retriever can be shaped to navigate complex pathways.
  • Includes both magnetic and hook retrieval options for versatility.
  • Compact and lightweight for easy carrying and storage.
  • Ball chain is useful for navigating through walls and ceilings.

Cons

  • Limited to retrieving ferrous (magnetic) metal objects with the primary tool.
  • Retrieval hook may not be suitable for all object shapes or textures.
  • 10' ball chain might be insufficient for extremely long or complex runs.
  • The magnetic retriever's strength may be overcome by heavier objects or debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The MRS-24 kit requires minimal setup. The flexible magnetic retriever is ready to use out of the box. The ball chain can be attached to the stop ring or used with the eyelet for guiding. The expandable hook simply extends for use.

Compatibility: The magnetic components are compatible with ferrous metals. The hook and retriever function with a wide range of objects that can be grasped or manipulated.

Care: To maintain optimal performance, clean the magnetic retriever and hook after each use, especially if exposed to dirt or corrosive materials. Wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Store all components in the provided pouch to prevent damage and loss.
