The sweeper works well around the yard, picking up nails from a recent roof replacement. Though the original item arrived with a broken handle, I emailed the manufacturer and they sent a replacement within a few days. Lightweight and with a handy pump release mechanism, it's a good value for the price.

a product with two wheels and a handle makes a job easier than stooping over and picking up loose nails or metal objects.i had looked other places for a product like this but i was amazed how a job well done this product done for me.the price you cannot beat for the results you will get from it.a back savor indeed.

The lot where I store our Motorhome had some nails and screws in it. I kept asking the owners to clean them up, fearing a flat. I finally did it myself with this thing. I think they felt bad when I showed them the 3 pounds of stuff that I picked up.

I should have known better with the price.
This magnetic , well kind of , sweeper is total junk. The wheels are 2 1/2 " diameter and the magnet is 3/4" higher than the bottom of the wheels. If you try to use it in grass the grass knocks off the nails it does pickup.
My bad for not checking the weight. It only weighs 3.2 lbs. total.

i received the first one broken so they are not that sturdy. when i rec'd my replacement i went out to use it but it really did not work as well as i thought it would in the grass. the grass would knock off some of the nails. i just wish the magnet was stronger. it ended up breaking as well a couple of weeks later.

I have used the rolling magnet and it works fine. The packaging could be a little better and the magnet itself a little stronger, but I have no complaints with this product for a home user.

Firstly, this item was on back order for about 3 months. When I finally decided to not respond to 'accept' an additional new ship date, the item magically was in the mail to me.

Secondly, the item arrived broken at the base where the handle meets the roller part.

Thirdly, Amazon is not responsible for returns on this item. You must go through the manufacturer and finding that information. The manufacturer was not open to return/refunds and only wanted to ship another one to me. We'll see how the second one does....

Item arrived broken and unusable. Packing was not adequate and construction was flimsy and item was returned for credit.

Product does NOT work as specified. From the moment I took it out of the box it did NOT work as it should..Magnet inside does NOT turn as it should. Mechanism is not designed well...and I am a machinist....

I ordered it and the first one came broke at the handle and magnet box connection. Amazon gladly told me they would send out a new one which they did. But theres no golden lining on this cloud, the second one came broke again in the same place.But this time Amazon said the problem must be worse than they thought and wouldn't try to send another.
I told them all they had to do is send the handle disconnected from the box and let the customer screw them together because the thing was just to big to fit in a regular box when it is put together. Thats why they broke. The drivers or handlers would see this big box and expect it to be heavy and when they would pick it up so easy It must have been too hard to resist showing off in front of the crew. Too bad I really could have used it. Has anyone else gotten one unbroken?
