Magnet Sweeper Magnetic Nail Roller: 17-Inch Heavy Duty Magnet Nail Pickup Rolling Tool with Telescoping Adjustable Handle 8.8-Pound Capacity Ideal for Workshop Garage Yard Construction Cleanup

We had some roofing work done and we keep finding screws and washers in the yard so I bought this as a gift for my husband and he says it works great. He also does our vehicle maintenance and I'm sure this sweeper will help him find the various parts that always seem to go "missing" on our carport :)

Not sure I would classify this as heavy duty, but it does a great job of steel pickup on my construction site. If the nails are partially imbedded in mud, it has about a 50% success rate picking it up, so sometimes it needs a little help. But if I’m rolling it on the slab or wood deck, it picks it all up. For the price it works as expected

So far it looks pretty solid. 4.5 stars until I get to use it after the roof gets replaced. The handle is definitely far too short unless you are less than 5 feet tall yourself. I extended mine by removing the plastic handle and pushing a slightly smaller diameter piece of metal shaft from an old broom that fit snuggly and perfectly. It is now 5 1/2 feet tall! The magnetic tray isn't part of the retrieval system. It's simply a place to put retrieved ferrous metal. Don't try looking for lost coins, gold, non-metallic jewelry as one reviewer mistakenly thought. The strength of the magnet seems pretty good but if you drag it through grass that is tall the retrieved metal might just pull off. Pulling rather than pushing might solve that, but it remains to be seen. The metallic tray might be useful for retrieving some fishing gear lying in the bottom of your favorite lake if you fashion a few nylon chords in strategically placed holes on each end. So far, I'll give it a solid 4 1/2 stars for being sturdy and functional. It readily attracts the washers and bolts used to attach the solid plastic wheels. Price point was great and I appreciated that one reviewers comments that the $50 version magnets were definitely no stronger than these $22 magnets.

Worked perfect. It picked up over 20 nails and screws over dirt where old wood was moved. They were not visible but the magnet found them

Very strong magnet was actually pulling up nails and screws you couldn't even see because they were under loose dirt and sand. The included magnetic tray really came in handy because the magnet picked up so much stuff on and alongside the rock road where we live. Very nice tool.

I haven't written a review in a while but I got tickled with the instructions as I assembled it. First, I screwed in the handle in without reading the other side of the bar. Naturally, I got it wrong, but not hard, undoing and redoing. What difference does it make, which side? There are 4 washers. The package contents/parts doesn't mention them. This same page of the assembly instructions says there are 2 x screws. 2 screws? I would call them bolts, and I assume one washer goes on one side of the wheel, and the other washer on the other side of the wheel, on the screw, I think is a bolt. The function of the washers, I'm wondering. I don't know. More seriously and of more concern to me, I'm not sure the handle will hold up. I tried to roll the sweeper uphill through grass, and found it works a lot better dragging it instead of pushing through grass. The rubber part and the end of the handle I can't get to stay on, so I may try glueing it. But my main concern is that this handle is made of thin metal. I think this tool will work for me if I am careful with it.

Some assembly is required. There is a sheet metal "wrench" for the wheel bolts but do yourself a favor and use a 10mm socket or regular end wrench since the bolts are self locking and don't just twist in. Also a dab of blue thread locker helps keep the handle from coming loose. I had been cutting up pallets and there were a lot of nails a regular magnet didn't pick up as shown in the photo. The telescoping handle keeps one from having to stoop over. Collapsed it hangs on a peg board hook, ready to save a flat tire.

Good product! Picks up and holds a lot of screws, nails, etc. Easy assembly. Does the job! The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars is because we were using it on rough surface outdoors after some roofing and the extendable handle doesn't lock, so we had some challenges with it shortening during use.
