by Malco

Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Easily navigates uneven terrain while clearing a big 34-inch path of metal debris. There is no need for height adjustment. The 4-inch diameter magnet housing is designed to freely rotate on a stainless steel axle. The housing turns slightly as obstacles are encountered to prevent captured debris from being wiped off during use. Permanent magnets assure long service life and resistance to shock and vibration. A T-handle with cushion grips offers superior maneuverability and control. The wheeled sweep's rotational quick release deposits debris in a large capacity hopper. The hopper feature allows multiple releases of debris without having to travel to a common dumping location. The filled hopper is easily lifted off the sweep frame by hand and emptied.

I typically don't review unless the product has a problem but here I am. The sweep is very good. Solid contruction and the hopper is great. The product is just a little too wide for lawn/grass applications which is 50% of our use. Although the width is great for driveway/flat surfaces.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gently rolling through our yard to the lovely sound of "clink" and "clank", March 30, 2006

This review is from: Malco MS34WH 34-Inch Wheeled Magnetic Sweep with Hopper (Tools & Home Improvement)

WOW, this Malco MS34WH 34" Wheeled Magnetic Sweep with Hopper is exactly what we need to pick up old nails and pieces of deteriorating metal that somehow ended up in the yard over the decades long before we were born and ever knew our house would one day be ours. Between its number of owners and sketchy contractors who worked on our historic rough gem, a lot of nails and screws found their way several inches into the soil and have since been working their way back up towards the surface with annual heaves typical of the freeze-thaw cycle.

Spending hours examining our yard for these small yet dangerous remnants of how our house was built and subsequently abused has taken its toll upon our eyes, necks, and backs. This magnetic sweep is music to our ears and a relief to eye strain, sore necks, and backaches from our continual bending to pick up what we suspect are metal nasties that could potentially injure our dogs' paws.

The quality construction of this magnetic sweep with hopper is well worth its price of $179.99 (free Amazon shipping) and extensive several month wait. Knowing old rusted nails, broken screws, and deteriorated metal chunks will eventually surface, buying this "yard tool" was a no brainer for us as homeowners with dogs. We figure the savings alone from one emergency vet visit for an injured paw covers its cost while preventing future accidents from happening.

This is a bit pricey for a magnetic sweep compared to others I've viewed online that were just a little smaller; although, when dealing with beloved pets and sharp rusted objects sticking out of the ground amongst millions of pine needles, $179.99 is a small price to pay for saftey and peace of mind.
