Jonard Tools MRS-36 MagneTriever Pro Multi-Tool

I purchased this last week and have used it twice since then for projects around the home — running an HDMI cable in the wall for a sound bar and installing a new AC outlet. This magnet and chain system made both job incredibly easy, but there was no insulation in walls in these two projects. I think had there been insulation it would have been difficulty for the chain to fall down the wall and therefore would have used my fish tape.How to use it to install an HDMI cable in the wall for a sound bar (for example):- Anchor the top end of the chain near the hole where the sound bar will be mounted- Drop the chain in the wall through the top hold near where the sound bar will be mounted- Through the lower hole where the DHMI cable will come out of the wall, use the magnetic wand to locate the chain and pull it towards you- Once you can see the chain, use the included hook to grab the chain and pull it though the hole in the wall- Tape your HDMI cable to the metal chain near the bottom hole in the wall and pull the metal chain back up through the top holePros:- Easy to use in walls without insulation- Magnets are powerful and make it easy to find the chain in the wall.- Comes with a small black carrying bagCons:- NoneI’d recommend this product

Fishing power to a recessed outlet behind a tv. Took some patience for the magnetic wand to find the chain and pull it out of the hole. I wish the magnet was stronger. But it got the fish done past a horizontal drain pipe in the wall. I do think it was overpriced for what it is but it does seem like a quality specialty tool so I’m happy it exists.

The ball chain you could get anywhere.But the ten foot length will cover 90+% of the walls you encounter.The large ring helps to keep from dropping the entire chain down into the stud cavity. So if you decide to make your own chain, make sure you have one end that cannot fall down into the stud cavity.ALSO make sure you do not drill to large of a hole or the large ring will be of no use.It is the flexible magnet that sealed the deal - you really need it. I could not believe how much time would be saved. Thinking back over the years, I really should have picked one of these a LONG TIME AGO.

I used this tool to snake wires behind my wall where my holes were not aligned vertically.For me, the flexible magnetic head found the ball chain in one minute (after more than an hour of unsuccessfully fiddling about with only a flexible fishing tool). My wall has minimal fiberglass insulation in the wall space. The manufacturer has a helpful YouTube video showing how the tool works. Note that the demonstration uses a wall space that does not have any insulation in the wall space.I believe tool will work well if there is minimal or no insulation in the area where the magnetic head must find the ball chain.Also, the ball chain itself is decidedly "light duty" so resist the urge to pull strongly on it and only use where the chain's passageway is relatively clear (that is, avoid small diameter holes). Other reviewers have found that the chain broke easily.The tool comes with a handy telescoping pull toll with a magnet on the other end. My purchase also came with a handy bag to organize the three parts.I subtracted one star for the relatively high price and the light duty ball chain.Recommended for light duty, obstruction-free use, particularly if you are having trouble making a traditional fishing tool work.

Product helped us to drop cable down a metal frame to install this wired iPad.

Yesterday I accidentally dropped a key into the deep dark abyss of my Ford Fiesta's parking brake, under my seat belt clip. It's impossible to get anything out of there by hand, the car would have to have the center console taken apart. I came across this magnet fisher and ordered immediately. It came overnight and thank goodness I fished out my key in under 2 minutes with the help of a flash light! Good Gravy what an awesome invention! Where have you been all my life? A must have if you've dropped a key in a crazy hard to reach place! It will save you time, money and patience.

I bought this item to run door strikes for access control. It also works good to run camera and alarm wires in weird places (I work with banks). The telescoping hook is nice to have as well. I would definitely buy it again.

Easy to use, and great for the price

Did job, helpful tool.

Awesome product. Saved me much time on the job. Highly recommended.

First time use, broke the end off immediately. Flimsy toward the end of it. Not $40 of equipment.
