Have you ever been under the hood of a car or working inside a door glass and dropped a screw? You could see it, but you could not reach it. The telescopic magnet extends to 24" in length to get to those really hard-to-reach places and collapses to only 4-3/4" long to easily store in your toolbox or even fit in your shirt pocket. This powerful magnet can lift up to two pounds, allowing for a wide variety of other uses. Made in USA.
