    Default Magnet Sweeper Find!

    Well folks heres my latest handy dandy Magnet Sweeper Find! I was checking out my local Harbor Freight & Tools store and came across this item. I just started this summer buying Pachinkos and can't say how many times I've dumped large quantities of balls everywhere. Needless to say I'm already tired of picking them up on my hands and knees. This magnet Picker Upper does the job and even has a release in the handle to empty. It has 25# of pick up strength and is 27" tall. I did a close up of the release handle and a shot of it loaded with one sweep. I counted the balls when released and there were 101 of them. This item was only $8.99 + Tax and money well spent!

    That is the perfect tool that any pachinko afficianado should have! I've got a couple, plus a couple of the non release kind.

    I see the price is coming down

    these are great.

    I also find them helpful for pulling the balls out of the polishing vat without having to use a strainer for the walnut shells.

    Why? I got one just to pick up tokens with

    A nice little one, that's actually being used to clean dust out of machines and computers and keyboards. Small enough to keep under the bench, powerful enough to pick up tokens.
