Full details

The AB Tools Magnetic Hi-Vis Extending Pen Pick Up Tool (TE755) is designed for mechanics, DIY enthusiasts, and anyone who needs to retrieve small metal objects from tight spaces. Its primary benefit is the powerful magnet combined with a telescopic arm, making it easy to retrieve dropped items like bolts or screws. A potential caveat is that the magnet's strength may be insufficient for very heavy items.

Troubleshooting

Magnet does not pick up an item.

Ensure the item is made of a ferrous metal. Check that the item's weight does not exceed the 10lb limit. Clean any debris from the magnetic tip.

Telescopic arm is stiff or difficult to extend/retract.

Gently try to work the arm back and forth. Check for any obstructions or debris within the mechanism. Avoid forcing the arm, as this may cause damage.

Tool feels loose or wobbly when extended.

Ensure the telescopic sections are fully extended and locked into place if there is a locking mechanism. If the issue persists, inspect the mechanism for wear or damage.
