1. Introduction
This manual provides instructions for the safe and effective use of your WORKPRO 4PC Telescoping Magnetic Pick Up Tool Kit. This kit is designed to assist in retrieving dropped items and inspecting hard-to-reach areas in various applications, including auto repair, household maintenance, and plumbing.
The kit includes:
- One flexible grabber pick-up tool (24 inches / 61 cm total length)
- One 2 LB telescoping magnetic pick-up tool
- One 16 LB telescoping magnetic pick-up tool
- One telescoping inspection mirror
All tools feature durable stainless steel construction and non-slip handles for comfortable and secure use.
2. Kit Components and Features
2.1 Telescoping Inspection Mirror
This mirror extends from 9.4 inches (24 cm) to 37.6 inches (95.5 cm). Its rotating neck allows for 360-degree adjustment, providing visibility into confined spaces.
2.2 Telescoping Magnetic Pick Up Tools
The kit includes two magnetic pick-up tools with different lifting capacities: a 2 LB tool and a 16 LB tool. These tools are designed to retrieve ferrous metal objects from inaccessible areas. The ultra-slim 2 LB tool is particularly useful for very small gaps. Both feature a pen buckle for convenient carrying.
2.3 Flexible Four-Claw Grabber Tool
This 24-inch (61 cm) flexible tool features four retractable claws for grasping non-magnetic items and a magnetic tip for small metallic objects. The flexible shaft allows it to navigate around obstacles in tight spaces.
3. Setup and Preparation
The WORKPRO 4PC Telescoping Magnetic Pick Up Tool Kit requires minimal setup. Upon receiving the kit, remove all components from their packaging. Inspect each tool for any signs of damage. No assembly or batteries are required.
4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Using the Telescoping Inspection Mirror
- Grasp the handle firmly.
- Extend the telescopic shaft to the desired length.
- Adjust the mirror head by rotating it to achieve the optimal viewing angle for the area you wish to inspect.
- Once inspection is complete, retract the shaft for compact storage.
4.2 Using the Telescoping Magnetic Pick Up Tools
- Select the appropriate magnetic tool (2 LB for lighter items/tighter spaces, 16 LB for heavier items).
- Extend the telescopic shaft to reach the dropped metallic object.
- Position the magnetic tip directly over the object. The magnet will attract and hold the object.
- Carefully retrieve the tool with the attached object.
- To release the object, simply pull it off the magnetic tip.
4.3 Using the Flexible Four-Claw Grabber Tool
- Insert the flexible shaft into the area where the item is located.
- To extend the claws, press down on the spring-loaded handle. The claws will open.
- Position the open claws around the item you wish to retrieve.
- Release the spring-loaded handle to close the claws and grasp the item.
- Carefully pull the tool and the grasped item out.
- For small metallic items, the magnetic tip can be used by simply touching it to the object.
5. Maintenance and Storage
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the tools with a clean, dry cloth to remove any dirt, grease, or debris. For stubborn grime, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by thorough drying.
- Lubrication: Periodically, apply a small amount of light machine oil to the telescoping mechanisms and the grabber claws to ensure smooth operation.
- Storage: Store the tools in a dry environment to prevent rust. Retract all telescoping shafts and ensure the grabber claws are closed before storage. Keep them in a toolbox or a designated area to protect them from damage.
6. Troubleshooting
- Magnetic tool not picking up items: Ensure the item is made of a ferrous metal (e.g., iron, steel). Magnets will not attract aluminum, plastic, wood, or other non-magnetic materials.
- Grabber claws not grasping firmly: Check for any debris obstructing the claws. Ensure the spring mechanism is clean and lubricated. The grabber is designed for lighter items; very heavy or awkwardly shaped objects may be difficult to secure.
- Telescoping shaft sticking: Clean the shaft thoroughly and apply a small amount of lubricant to the extending sections. Avoid forcing the shaft if it feels stiff.
