Telescoping Magnet

The ALLSTAR PERFORMANCE Telescoping Magnet (ALL 14173) is a compact, chrome-plated magnetic retrieval tool engineered for technicians, mechanics, and workshop professionals who need reliable ferrous metal recovery in tight spaces. This telescoping magnet extends to 2 feet for deep-cavity access while collapsing to just 5 inches for compact storage, making it an essential addition to any toolbox or workshop setup.

With a 3-pound pull force, this steel-construction magnet effectively retrieves nuts, bolts, ball bearings, and other ferrous fasteners that fall into engine bays, crevices, or behind equipment. The chrome finish provides corrosion resistance, protecting the magnet during extended use in humid or shop environments where salt spray or moisture exposure is common. The lightweight design at 0.09 pounds means extended reach without fatigue, and the smooth telescoping mechanism allows one-handed extension and retraction for quick, practical fieldwork.

This tool is indispensable for automotive technicians, engine builders, machinists, and maintenance crews who regularly work on machinery or in environments where dropped fasteners are a routine problem. The telescoping design solves the access challenge that fixed-length magnets cannot address—reaching into deep wells, behind radiators, under engine blocks, or inside engine compartments without full disassembly. Its compact collapsed profile stores easily in a service truck, diagnostic kit, or workshop drawer.

The 3-pound pull strength provides sufficient holding power for standard fasteners without over-magnetizing, which can be problematic when you need to release parts cleanly. ALLSTAR PERFORMANCE's reputation in the automotive and performance parts sector reflects precision engineering for real workshop demands, making this a trusted choice for professionals who depend on their tools daily.
