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