Information about the magnets built into magnetic pick-up tools

Magnetic pick-up tools are also known as magnetic rods, due to their elongated shape. It is important to note that not the entire product is magnetic. Instead, a small but powerful neodymium magnet is built into one end. Neodymium magnets are significantly stronger than dark-grey ferrite magnets of the same size, which many of us know from refrigerator magnets. The strongest magnetic rod lifter at the online shop of supermagnete has an adhesive force of approx. 2,5 kg.

Magnetic pick-up tools in different designs

At the online shop of supermagnete, you will find magnetic pick-up tools in the following designs:
  • Magnetic pick-up tool with telescoping rod: This lifter can be extended to a certain length.
  • Magnetic pick-up tool with flexible rod: This lifter is bendable and will stay in the desired position.
  • Magnetic pick-up tool with release mechanism: It doesn’t have a rod but an extra-large magnetic surface area instead. The collected metal parts are released by pulling a lever.

What can be collected with a magnetic rod?

Metal objects that are small and lightweight. For example:
  • Screws / bolts
  • Nuts
  • Nails
  • Washers
  • Paperclips
  • Pins
  • Metal particles / Metal filings
  • etc.

Magnetic pick-up tools as Geocaching accessories

Did you know that magnetic pick-up tools (with telescoping or flexible rods) could be used for geocaching? It is true because certain caches can only be retrieved with the help of a magnet. Telescoping magnetic lifters in particular are a very useful accessory as they won’t take up much space in your backpack. You can find more information on our page "Which magnets are suitable for geocaching?".
