Telescopic magnet / light thingy

Hi,

If anyone happens to get petrol at a BP they are selling this cheap at the moment



A useful gadget to catch those dropped screws from those hard to reach VW places. :thumbs:

 

Cheers for the heads up dude they are very handy tools to have

 

B&M bargain shops have them

 

Very well worth the money. I've had one in my garage for a couple of years. Almost never use it, but when you need it you'd pay anything. Like when a nut drops down the intake on your left hand side in a '73. Hard to reach but simple with the tool .

 

I dropped a exhaust stud into my heat exchanger today, one of these would I've been very handy

 

When i removed mine i managed to pour nine nuts out of one exchanger
I have to admit two of them are ones ive dropped

I blame blue roll not being free for me not plugging the hole

 

A great little tool I have one for work but no light in it. Defo recommend for £2 and a bargain too.

 

i had one like that and i throw it as far as i could one day after trying to get a washer i had dropped, the magnet was so week it couldn't pick up a washer
I ended up using a stick with a bob of grease on the end

i might take a nut with me to see how good the magnet is on one of those before i get one

 

I've got a flexi thingy with a magnet on the end from machine mart, very handy for changing the plugs on a type4
