Proto J2378XL Magnetic Retrieving Tool 5 Lb Pull

Product Description

The PROTO J2378XL is a magnetic retrieving tool designed to recover dropped ferrous hardware and components from hard-to-reach areas. It extends from a collapsed length of 8.25 inches to a maximum of 35.9 inches, giving technicians the reach needed to retrieve fasteners, screws, and small parts from deep inside equipment cabinets, ductwork openings, electrical panels, and mechanical assemblies. The magnetic tip delivers up to 5 pounds of pull force, sufficient for most small fasteners encountered in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical service work. At 0.169 pounds, it is light enough to carry in a standard tool pouch without adding noticeable bulk.

This retrieving tool is suited for trade professionals who work in confined or restricted spaces where dropped hardware creates a service delay. Licensed HVAC technicians, electricians, and plumbers use magnetic retrieving tools during installation and maintenance of equipment where access openings are narrow and visual recovery of dropped parts is difficult. The telescoping shaft allows single-hand operation while the other hand continues work, reducing downtime on service calls.

Key Features

• Magnetic tip with 5 lb average pull force for reliable retrieval of ferrous fasteners and small parts
• Telescoping shaft extends from 8.25 inches collapsed to up to 35.9 inches for deep-reach access
• Compact collapsed length stores easily in a tool belt or service bag
• Lightweight at 0.169 pounds for all-day carry without fatigue
• Single-piece construction supports one-hand operation in tight access points

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose magnetic retrieving tool suitable for use across HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical service applications where recovery of dropped ferrous hardware is required.

Installation Notes

A magnetic retrieving tool is a hand tool requiring no installation. Before use in electrical panels or energized equipment, follow applicable NFPA 70E arc flash and shock hazard protocols and confirm the work area is de-energized if contact with live components is possible. Keep the magnetic tip away from sensitive electronic control boards and permanent magnets that could be damaged by magnetic fields. Store separately from precision measuring instruments that may be affected by prolonged magnetic exposure.
