This handheld magnetic sweeper covers the nail pickup a rolling sweeper cannot reach. On the deck itself, in gutters, along parapet walls, on stairs, and in a truck bed, a wheeled unit is the wrong tool and a handheld magnet is the right one. Drag it along the surface and it collects loose fasteners without bending over to pick them up one at a time.
Commercial roofing contractors use the handheld sweeper as the detail pass after the rolling sweeper has covered the open areas. It is also the tool of choice for cleaning out gutters after a tear-off where nails and granules collect. The quick-release handle drops collected fasteners cleanly without touching them.
