Title: The ongoing saga of John's floor.
Post by: John Stevenson on June 08, 2011, 05:58:21 PM
So decided to treat myself to a couple of those magnetic pickup tools that ARC sells to try to clear up a bit.
 
Strong magnet inside a closed tube, stick where all the crap is and it all sticks to the tube, place over skip, pull handle and it all  drops off - brilliant.

So Mark 1 test.
 
Open doors and decide to start in the front shop.

Starting to look a tat bit untidy, so a few applications of the bigger pick up tool and voilą.

Impressive or not ??
Just need to get the skip emptied now

I'm impressed that a magnet shifts anything non-ferrous ...  :scratch:

What does he want with a floor anyway ??

Can't he make do with a virtual floor like the rest of us ?

That's why I bought two of them, the bigger one to lift the machine up and the smaller one to clean under it.   :lol:
