Flexible-Shaft Claw-Jaw Magnetic Retrievers

Bend the shaft of these retrievers to access hard to reach spaces and pick up objects using the claw or magnet. The thin wire jaws of the claw grasp small and oddly shaped parts off the ground, high shelves, and from inside deep tanks. Press the plunger to open the jaws and release to close. The magnet picks up screws, nuts, and other steel objects.

Spring Back—Spring-back retrievers flex and then bounce back when pressure is released.

Magnetic

Load

Positioning

Pole

Guide suspended steel sheets, iron pipe, and other magnetic loads by pushing and pulling them from a safe distance. These poles have an on/off magnet at the end—release them by turning a switch on the magnet. They telescope for extra reach.

Fiberglass—Made of fiberglass, these poles are lightweight to reduce arm fatigue.
