Review on 🔧 Lisle 31140 23" Flexible Retrieving Tool: A Versatile Solution for Hard-to-Reach Areas by Chris Long

I liked the telescopic design and the small/strong magnetic head, but it quickly became clear that the flex neck couldn't be used in tight spaces. When assembling the gearbox I used this magnet to easily install the spring shown in the photo, but when I tried to install the bracket over the spring and then remove the magnet the flexible head pulled to one side and jammed. After trying to remove the magnet for a while the flexible neck stretched and once it wasn't straight it wouldn't go through the holes in the case so I had to cut it off and remove the magnet.
