What telescopic pick-up tool sizes are available?

Kilograms and pounds The lift or pull force of the magnet can also vary between pick-up tools. The length of pick-up tool or size of magnet does not affect its lift capacity; rather, it depends on the strength of the magnet.

Pick up tool with power ring attatched Some pick-up tools are equipped with a power ring. This can be screwed around the magnet to focus the magnet’s attraction. If the power ring is unscrewed, the magnet can attract from its sides as well.
