Hey,


I had a bergeon "magic wiper" but this thing is useless on carpet and it's kind of small and weak so I thought I will build one with some badass earth magnes strips. Those things can seriously pick up a hammer from the ground.

Easy to build, just use 3m tapes and furniture pads on the corner to lift it fro the ground so you have some clearance for parts and stick the magnetic bars to the wood using 3m tape too, I did put a little handle on the other side just for better control.
​​​​​​You could possibly put it on a wand or something so you just sweep the floor standing but I like it this way as it gives me more control.


Oh and make sure every part you pick up this way goes straight to demagnetize tool.

Looks awesome and sounds not expensive to make.. good idea. I got a pen style magnet pick up tool from esslinger. Was about to get the wiper but then didnt.

Amazing work there - practical too. Did you consider the construction nail sweeper tools? How would that compare?

Typical i find this thread after looking for an hour and paying £15 for one poxy case back screw for a roo. Great idea though, just ordered a bunch of neodium magnets. Your right about diy being more fun!
