Carlyle 2 Piece Magnetic & Flexible Claw Pick-Up Tool (CMCFPUS2)

Description

Genuine Carlyle · Part no. CMCFPUS2

The Carlyle CMCFPUS2 is a pair of pick-up tools on 600mm flexible shafts: one with a magnetic head measuring 27mm x 24mm x 12mm, the other with a four-pronged claw. Between them they fetch dropped nuts, washers, sockets and clips from behind engines and down gaps the hand can't reach.

Good to know

• Which of the two do I use? The magnet for steel and iron parts; the claw for anything a magnet won't hold, such as aluminium, brass, copper or plastic clips.
• Will the flexible shaft reach round corners? It bends to follow a path past pipes and brackets, so bend it to shape before feeding it in.
• Any tips for a dropped part in the engine bay? Stop the engine and let it cool first, and work slowly so the part doesn't drop further into the subframe.

Which one?

For a pocket-sized magnet that extends from 124mm to 635mm, the Carlyle Retractable Magnet Pickup (CTMPUT) is the slimmer choice. For levering parts apart once they are reachable, the Carlyle Indexing Pry Bar 250mm (CPBF10) has an adjustable head.
