Pickup tools are specialised handheld tools designed to pick up, collect, retrieve, or manipulate objects that are hard to access, fragile, too small, or hazardous to handle directly. These hand tools assist individuals with limited mobility, back problems, or dexterity issues and are valuable in various settings––from homes to workplaces and outdoor settings. A typical pick up tool is made from durable materials, including steel, stainless steel, aluminium, brass, hard plastic, and silica. These specialised tools feature ergonomic handles for added comfort with adjustable and foldable designs for portability and storage. Depending on the specific pick-up tool, they can collect multiple objects with their built-in claws or magnets of different weights––from 20g to 6kg. Additionally, pick-up tools can be a robust safety solution in collecting sharp objects, including screws and nails, preventing damage or injuries.

Popular Types of Pick Up Tools
Pick up tools are categorised into various types based on their gripping mechanisms, intended usage, and types of collecting objects. Some common pick-up tool types include:
- Magnetic Pick-Up Tools – These tools are equipped with a magnetic tip for collecting metal objects like nails, screws, pens, or shavings from floors and tight spaces. A magnetic pick-up tool carries a strong magnet (often a neodymium magnet), making it beneficial for automotive and construction sites to collect ferrous scrap metals, ensuring safety.
- Vacuum Pick-Up Tools – These tools employ a vacuum to pick up small, delicate, or sensitive items, such as electronic components in electronic assemblies or lab samples. A vacuum pick-up tool ensures the lift and place of small items precisely without touching them directly.
- Suction Cup Pick-Up Tools – These devices use a suction mechanism to lift and move smooth, non-porous items like glass or tiles.
- Precision Pick-Up Tools – These are small tools designed for collecting tiny components with robust precision. They are often used in crafting, jewellery making, or electronics.
- Telescoping Magnetic Pick-Up Tools – A telescopic pick up tool comes with an extendable handle with a magnet or a claw for reaching items that are far away or in deep spaces.
- Claw Pick-Up Tools – These devices feature a set of claws or pincers for grabbing and holding onto a variety of objects.
- Bendable Pick-Up Tools – Also called flexible pick-up tools, these devices feature a flexible, bendable shaft designed to reach objects in tight or awkward spaces. Their flexible shaft allows for more precise positioning and manoeuvring, making them preferred choices in automotive repair, plumbing, and other tasks requiring bending into different positions.
- Large Pick-Up Tools – They are typically long-handled devices with a grabbing mechanism designed to extend the reach and grab a large number of objects that are too high, too low, or too far away to reach comfortably. They are commonly used in various settings, such as picking up litter, retrieving items from high shelves, or reaching items behind furniture.
