New Magnetic/Mechanical Pickups & Screwdrivers Join Family of Lighted Tools

General Tools & Instruments (General) has the solution for working in tight, poorly lit spots where it’s a struggle to see and retrieve small objects or perform difficult, repetitive fastening jobs involving tiny screws. Two new Lighted Magnetic/ Mechanical Pickups (70390 & 70391), the Lighted Cordless Power Precision Screwdriver (502) and the 8-in-1 Lighted Precision Screwdriver (75108) join General’s family of specialty hand toolst.

General’s two new Lighted Magnetic/Mechanical Pickups (70390 & 70391) provide illumination and a recovery capability along with comfortable, ergonomically designed hand controls. When the handle is depressed gently, the powerful white LED centered in the tip directly illuminates the task at hand. Depress the handle fully, and a strong four-pronged steel-jaw grabber extends from the tip to capture small objects. A retractable magnetic sleeve (housed in the handle) can be deployed easily to retrieve nuts, bolts and other metal objects. The long flexible shafts (24 in. – 70390; 36 in. – 70391) allow you to maneuver behind workbenches and in other constricted spaces.
