Best magnetic sweeper
This tool works great to pick up any small pieces of metal you may have missed on the job site. Works quite well. Would definitely recommend this to anyone needing a job site magnet cleanup. Amazing tool!!!
A bit bulky for home use
I am a simple home user. The package was very big and not substantial enough for the heft of the item. I tried using in my home garage, as that is the extent of my capacity. Unfortunately heavy winter hit just after receiving the package and thus its use was negatively impacted by snow and moisture over my garage floor! I look forward to testing further in the spring/summer/fall when I can fully trial this item!
Magnetic clean-up with Mastercraft
I love how thorough this Mastercraft Magnetic Sweep is. On our gray epoxy flake garage floor, it picked up every nail and screw in just a few passes - even the ones that blend in. No bending, no missed pieces, and releasing everything is so easy.
Handy helper
Received the Mastercraft Magnetic Sweep with Wheels, 22" to review for free from @thisisbutterly @canadiantire. Here's what the hubby had to say after testing it out.
This tool does exactly what it promises—picks up ferromagnetic metal with ease. It handled everything from fine drill shavings to large nuts and bolts in my garage without issue. Perfect for clearing nails from dirt and grass after home projects or bigger jobs like re-shingling.
Pros:
Strong magnetic pull (30 lbs) makes cleanup efficient.
Release handle feels sturdy and works well.
Great for DIY use; should last a lifetime in that setting.
Cons:
Wing nut for the sliding handle feels flimsy.
Wheels can be either wobbly or too tight depending on axle bolt tension.
Release mechanism is loud due to rods scraping through holes.
Fairly heavy
Bottom Line: Excellent for homeowners and DIYers
Little picker upper
This little machine is pretty mighty. It picks up many metal pieces up off your shop floor. It even picked up the tiniest screw. Overall this is a great piece if you work with alot o screws, nails or metal. This things make picking up screws easy as slicing a cake.
Powerful Easy to Use Magnetic Sweeper
The magnet is strong enough to pick up a good amount of material without having to go over the same spot multiple times. The handle has a really sturdy grip and can extend.. It's lightweight and is super easy to move in any direction. It has sturdy rubber wheels that’s good for any surface from grass, concrete, gravel or wood. Great addition to help keep any worksite clean.
Very functional
I tried the magnetic sweep in my garage and it works very well, it is easy to use, it collects screws and metal legs easy and fast it is lightweight and easy to handle, very practical.
Great product and easy to use
it has turned out to be one of those tools you don’t realize you need until you have it. We had nails, screws, and little bits of metal all over the garage and driveway after some home repairs, and this thing made cleanup unbelievably easy. The magnet is strong enough to catch pieces I didn’t even see, and it glides smoothly over concrete, grass, and even uneven areas.
What I like most is the convenience—you just walk with it like a push broom, and it does all the work. When you’re done, the release mechanism drops everything into the trash without you having to touch anything sharp.
It’s sturdy, simple to use, and honestly saved me from worrying about flat tires or someone stepping on a stray nail. For the price, it’s an incredibly practical and effective tool. I’d absolutely recommend it.
