Proto J2379XL Magnetic Retrieving Tool 16 Lb Pull

Product Description

The PROTO J2379XL is a telescoping magnetic retrieving tool designed to recover dropped ferrous fasteners, bits, and small metal components from hard-to-reach spaces. It extends from a collapsed length of 8.25 inches to a maximum overall length between 25 and 35.9 inches, giving technicians substantial reach without disassembling equipment. With a 16 lb magnetic pull capacity, the J2379XL handles most common shop and field recovery tasks. Weighing just 0.217 pounds, it stores easily in a tool pouch or service bag. HVAC techs, plumbers, electricians, and general service professionals keep this tool on hand for dropped screws, nuts, and fittings in tight enclosures, panels, and mechanical spaces.

The J2379XL suits trade professionals working in confined areas such as electrical panels, air handler cabinets, boiler rooms, and under-slab or overhead installations. Its telescoping shaft allows the user to adjust reach on the fly without changing tools. The compact collapsed length makes it practical for tight tool bags and service kits. Any trade that regularly works inside metal enclosures or around ferrous hardware will find routine use for this tool.

Installation Notes

This tool is a hand-use retrieving instrument and does not require installation. Before using near sensitive electronic components such as control boards, variable-frequency drives, or ECM motors, keep the magnetic tip a safe distance from circuit boards and magnetic media. Extend and retract the telescoping shaft smoothly to avoid joint wear. Store collapsed when not in use to protect the magnetic tip.
