Full details

The Laser Magnetic Pick Up Tool (4994) is an essential utility for automotive technicians, mechanics, and DIY enthusiasts who frequently struggle to retrieve dropped metal fasteners from confined engine bays. Its primary benefit is the combination of an adjustable telescopic reach and a specialized protective sleeve that prevents unwanted magnetic interference, though users should note it is strictly intended for magnetic items weighing under 1.6kg.

How should I clean the tool after using it in an oily engine bay?

Troubleshooting

Clean the telescopic segments with a soft cloth to remove grit or debris that may have entered the joints.

Magnet is picking up surrounding metal parts

Ensure the protective sleeve is properly seated over the magnet tip to shield the side-pull magnetic force.

  • Protective sleeve prevents unwanted sticking to surrounding metal
  • Comfortable soft-grip handle improves precision and ergonomics
  • Strong magnetic force for a tool of this size
  • Compact storage size at only 170mm

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This tool requires no formal setup; simply pull the telescopic shaft to the desired length. To maintain the tool, wipe the magnetic tip and telescopic shaft with a clean, dry cloth after every use to prevent the accumulation of metallic filings or abrasive dirt. If the device comes into contact with grease or oil, use a mild degreaser, ensuring the telescoping joints are dried completely before storing. Avoid storing the tool near sensitive electronics or magnetic storage media, as the magnet is powerful enough to potentially cause interference.
