Flexible Magnetic Pickup Tool Vorel 60 cm 78401 — flexible shaft with magnetic tip for reaching and retrieving metal parts

The Vorel flexible magnetic pickup tool 60 cm (model 78401) is a handheld retrieval aid with a flexible shaft and magnetic tip designed to reach confined or hard-to-access spaces. Lightweight and portable, it allows technicians and DIY users to retrieve small ferrous parts such as screws, nuts, bolts and washers from engine bays, machinery housings, drains and behind furniture without disassembly. The tool combines a slim, bendable shaft with a strong magnetic head to deliver secure pickup in narrow gaps.

Advantages

The flexible shaft provides access to tight or curved spaces where rigid tools cannot reach, and the magnetic tip secures small metal parts for safe extraction. Its 60 cm length balances reach and control, while the compact, lightweight design supports extended use without excessive fatigue. The magnetic head holds retrieved items firmly, reducing the risk of dropping parts during removal.

Suitable for

• Retrieving screws, bolts, nuts and washers from confined engine compartments
• Picking up metal parts from behind furniture, appliances or radiators
• Recovering small ferrous components from machinery, tools and production equipment
• Fishing metal debris from drains and gutters
• General workshop and household maintenance tasks requiring reach into narrow spaces

Key specifications

• Shaft type: flexible bendable rod
• Overall length: 60 cm
• Pickup mechanism: magnetic tip for ferrous materials
• Weight: lightweight, designed for handheld use
• Intended materials: ferrous metals such as steel and iron fasteners

How to use

Extend the flexible shaft into the restricted area while keeping a steady grip on the handle. Guide the magnetic tip toward the target metal part and allow the magnet to engage; then carefully withdraw the tool, maintaining a straight line as much as possible to avoid snagging. For curved or angled passages, bend and steer the shaft gently to follow the path. After retrieval, detach any collected debris from the magnetic head before the next use.

Usage recommendations

Use the tool only to pick up ferrous metal items; non-magnetic materials will not be retrieved. Avoid excessive twisting or sharp kinks in the flexible shaft to prolong service life. Keep the magnetic head clean and free of metal shavings. Store the tool in a dry place away from strong magnetic-sensitive devices.
