Why did you pick this product vs others?:I like the weight of this magnet,its very easy and comfotable to use. Lately we had an outbuilding go down in the wind. This makes it much easier to find a lot of the nails. Hold capacity:Let me tell you it can grab and hold A LOT of nails at a time.Power:Holds so many nails at time you really have to work a little to get them off.Design:I really like how it can be extended for length for whoever's using it.

Worked well. Magnet is strong. Picked up discarded roofing nails and pieces of metal. The best way to use is to pull it while you walk. Easy to put together. Nice to have available to use as needed or share with your neighbors.

The people who owned my home before me left a mess of screws, nails, and other miscellaneous metal in part of our pasture. I ordered this magnet to clean it up. The magnet is strong and easily picked up the debris. It holds quite a bit and has a durable design. I do wish that it was a little higher off the ground as it can only roll over completely flat ground and can't go over low brush or bumps without getting hung up on thr ground.

Works great. Picks up even the smallest slivers of metal. It is heavy and cantankerous to pick up for releasing metals into a bin. No handle other than pulling handle and release handle. Works great though.

Perfect size and very grippy. The magnet is very strong it picked up small nails and screws in the grass on on the pavement! Didn't break the bank!

Product as described. Wish the light made a smaller, more focused pattern.

Exactly what I needed.I was having a new room built on my house and I have two small dogs. My neighbor actually noticed that there were a lot of nails and debris in the grass. I ordered this magnet and actually enjoyed using it. It did the job it got up more than could be seen.

If you get your home or garage roof replaced you need a magnetic sweeper. Contractors do not have the time to look for nails, etc. - they are running to the next job. Tire repair whether car, truck, lawn tractor, ATV, etc., is not cheap ($30 on average) and several nails will completely ruin a tire. I have not had any issues with the bolt that secures the handle as others have claimed, but that's easily remedied by drilling a hole through the handle and inserting a bolt. The magnet is strong enough to pick up roofing nails, roofing staples, and small fasteners as long as they are steel - magnets cannot pick up aluminum. I have found that the sweeper does a better and easier job by pulling instead of pushing. Just walk causally and do not force the magnet over clumps of grass. When the magnet picks up a nail you'll hear a distinctive "clink" on the housing. I stop and take the nails off of the magnet because thick or tall grass could dislodge the nails from the magnet. I do agree with others that the magnet release handle is very clunky and you could release items picked up by accident if you aren't careful. I secured the release handle so it doesn't move (I'll remove nails, etc., from magnet by hand). What I do not like is the fact that the sweeper did not come with washers for the wheels - you secure the wheels with a single nut and have to adjust the tightness. The only other issue is I wish the magnet had a height adjustment instead of relying on wheel height. The writeup states the sweeper has adjustable clearance space ranging from 3/4 to 1-1/2 inches - IT DOES NOT. I have found that the sweeper does a good job on short grass, on level gravel, and on concrete (it excels on concrete floors) but it has difficulty in tall grass or gravel driveways with dips and bumps. All in all it will work for you once you get used to it's short comings - and it's better than paying for tire repair. I have used several magnetic sweepers and none are perfect. You'll have to run this sweeper over the area several times to pick up everything. I give this sweeper three stars because it is average in quality and reliability.
