Overview
The listing calls this the Telescoping 85000 Knife, but the specs given, magnet and steel, plus a telescoping design, describe a pickup tool for retrieving metal parts rather than a bladed knife.
No blade length, edge type or locking mechanism appears anywhere in the data, which is the kind of detail a genuine knife listing would normally include. Buyers expecting a cutting tool should check the product images closely before ordering.
- Telescoping magnetic pickup design
- Magnet and steel construction
- 1.12 lb tool weight
- Listed as Tools despite knife title
Who it's for
Useful for mechanics, DIYers or anyone who regularly drops screws, nuts or other small metal parts into engine bays, under appliances or wall cavities.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Telescoping reach for tight or hidden spots
- Magnet and steel build for metal parts
- No blade specs despite the knife title
- Reach length and magnet strength not listed
- No reviews to confirm pickup performance
Performance notes
The magnet and steel construction combined with a telescoping design point to reach extension for pulling metal objects out of gaps, from under machinery or behind appliances. At 1.12 pounds it carries some heft for a handheld tool, likely from the telescoping steel shaft and magnet rather than any blade component, since no blade length, edge or lock spec appears in the data.
