Just saw this post via the cross-stitching community, and thought it’d fit perfect here too! Anyone use such a device to find magnetic nanos? Or is there a different tool of the trade you never go without?

“Mechanics normally use a #Mechanics Telescoping Magnetic Pick-Up Tool 2 pick up small bolts & other metal that have fallen as they work, but those who #CrossStitch, #Sew, #Quilt, etc., can use it to pick up lost pins & needles so they don’t wind up goosing someone when they sit on the couch. 😅 Can be found in almost any automotive store or automotive tool section in Walmart. Some versions even have flashlights on the end!”

    I have never come across a cache that requires a magnet on a stick.

    I have a pen on my keys. The one I have is extendable so it’s comfortable to write with. It has saved my ass so many times from having to walk back to the car or buy more pens.

    This isn’t the exact one I purchased, but it looks identical: https://a.co/d/0DV73WM
