Product Information
Full details
This 600mm Flexible Pick-Up Tool by Toolzone is designed for anyone needing to retrieve small, dropped items in tight or awkward spaces. Its key benefit is the 600mm flexible shaft combined with four strong metal hooks that provide a secure grip. A minor consideration is that it's best suited for visible items, as it cannot reach into completely sealed or obstructed areas. This tool is a practical solution for home maintenance, DIY projects, and workplace retrieval tasks.

FAQs
What is the maximum weight this tool can hold?
The tool is designed for small, lightweight items like nuts, screws, and similar hardware. It is not rated for specific weight capacities, but excessive weight can compromise the grip and mechanism.
Can this tool pick up non-metallic items?
Yes, the metal hooks can grip non-metallic items if their shape allows for a secure hold. However, it is most effective with items that have edges or contours the hooks can latch onto.
Is the shaft rigid or flexible?
The shaft is fully flexible, allowing it to bend and maneuver into confined spaces.
How do I operate the pick-up tool?
Press the handle or trigger mechanism to open the claws. Position the claws around the object you wish to retrieve, then release the mechanism to close the claws and grip the item.
Can this tool be used in wet conditions?
While the tool can be used in damp environments, it is not designed for submersion. It is best to dry the tool thoroughly after exposure to moisture to prevent rust on the metal parts.
What is the return policy if the tool doesn't work?
Please refer to the retailer's specific return policy for details on damaged or non-functional products.
Can the hooks be replaced if they break?
The hooks are integrated into the tool and are not designed to be user-replaceable.
Troubleshooting
Claws not gripping securely
Ensure the object is positioned correctly within the grasp of all four hooks. Check for any debris or obstruction on the hooks that may be hindering a firm grip. For very smooth objects, try applying gentle pressure while closing the jaws.
Shaft is stiff or difficult to bend
Gently flex the shaft back and forth to loosen it. Ensure there is no external damage or kink in the shaft. Avoid forcing sharp bends, as this can compromise the flexibility.
Spring mechanism feels loose
The spring mechanism is integral to the tool's operation. If it feels excessively loose or disengaged, inspect the connection points. For significant issues, further use may be limited.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This tool requires no assembly. It is ready for immediate use upon purchase.
Compatibility: The tool is designed for retrieving small to medium-sized solid objects. It is most compatible with metallic items due to the magnetic properties often associated with such retrieval, though it can grip non-metallic items if their shape allows.
Care: To maintain performance, keep the tool clean. After use, wipe the shaft and claws with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove any debris. Avoid submerging the tool in water. Store it in a dry place to prevent rust on the metal components. Periodically check the spring mechanism for smooth operation.
