Sami at EachBuyer asked if I would like to review a couple of their products. This Magnetic Lift Pick Up Tool with LED's was selected by him for me to review. The retracted length is 6 5/8" (16.8cm). Extended length is 21 3/4" (55cm). The head has 3 5mm LED's directly driven by 4 LR44 cells.
Pro's:
- Double o-rings for protecting telescoping extensions from dust and moisture
- Bright for this type of tool
- Strong head magnet
- Feels durable
- Has a tail magnet too
- Nice clip
- No obvious tint. Just cold white
Con's:
- Tail magnet ok strength, but not enough to hold light horizontally on some enamel finished metals
- Button cells. At least this type of light isn't used much. So they should last a while.
Teardown shots:
Magnet Strength:
8 ounces ("oz") or .23 Kilograms ("kg"):
10 (oz) or .28 kg:
1 pound ("lb") or .45 Kg:
1 lb 2 oz or .51 kg:
1 lb 10 oz or .74 kg:
2 lbs 2 oz or .96 kg
2 lbs 10 oz or 1.19 kg:
3 lbs 2 oz or 1.42 kg:
3 lbs 10 oz or 1.64 kg! I think tool could pick up much more weight of a better quality steel. Especially, if not finished or rusty.
Head bowed to 4 lbs 2 oz or 1.87 kg:
But then it shined it's light. This picture was taken outside on a sunny day under the shade of a high porch roof.

The wall is beige colored.
Conclusion:
Like the headlamp review I just posted, I really like this tool. I've had many magnetic pick tools. This one is the best I've used so far. Already have used it for real a couple times.
