Magnetic Nail Sweeper Solutions
Magnetic nail sweepers are a type of magnetic sweeper used to quickly pick up metal objects such as nails or screws. Magnetic nail sweepers work well in a variety of environments, including shop floors and even grass. They are essential for easily and safely clearing environments of metal debris without having to bend over. Bluestreak Equipment offers a comprehensive selection of magnetic nail sweeper products in a variety of widths and pickup heights.
Magnetic Nail Sweeper Testing Standards
As a magnetic equipment specialist, Bluestreak engineers a diverse selection of highly effective magnetic nail sweepers. All of our products undergo testing to determine the maximum height from which they can pick up a 2.5-inch nail. The pickup power of our magnetic sweeper products is measured in terms of this maximum lifting height. For example, the Wrasse magnet has a maximum lifting height of 8.5 inches, meaning this is the highest it can go while still being able to pick up a 2.5-inch nail.
