Pocket Pick Stick

Love this magnetic stick. Beats picking the empties up by hand.

It's not going to hold 25 but it will pick up quite a few, totally worth it and continues to make my life easier.

Works well and holds up.

Works as described.

After using this magnetic shell retriever for multiple trap-shooting sessions with the family, I can say it's an incredibly efficient way to clean up spent shells. The MOJO Pick Stick with its collapsible design and sliding shell release mechanism has proven to be a real time-saver at the range.The length is perfectly engineered for comfortable use without having to bend over repeatedly, and the sliding mechanism for detaching shells is genuinely brilliant. Instead of having to manually pull shells off the magnet (like with basic models), you simply slide them off - a feature that really shines when you're picking up dozens of shells after a busy shooting session.Here's an interesting discovery for fellow shooters: I learned that shotgun shells actually use steel rather than brass for their base components, which is why this magnetic pickup system works so well. That said, let's address the elephant in the room - the price point. While the quality and functionality are excellent, it does feel a bit expensive for what is essentially a magnetic stick with a slider.Key features worth noting:- Efficient sliding release mechanism- Comfortable extended reach- Strong magnetic attraction to shells- Durable construction- Superior to non-slider versionsPro tip: When using the slider release, position your collection bucket directly below - it makes the whole process even more efficient.Bottom line: Yes, it's more expensive than it probably should be, but if you're a regular trap shooter or range visitor, the time and effort saved make it a worthwhile investment. The sliding mechanism alone puts it ahead of simpler, non-sliding alternatives. Just think of it as an investment in your back health and shooting day efficiency.

The Good: It picks up shotgun hulls as described.The Bad: It collapses, but not small at all. I am 6'2" and this is just a little short to be used comfortably when fully collapsed, fully extended it is about 2-3 feet too long. I guess if you are 8'6" this would possibly be sized right. It could have been almost half the length collapsed and then extend to a good useable length. The grip is a ski pole grip, so it is only comfortable if you hold it like a hiking staff, which is not how anyone would naturally hold something that they ae pointing at the ground to pick up objects. This is basically a hollow piece of metal with a magnet in it. The only way to make it a good product is to put some thought into the ergonomics, which means a handle that works for the task it is designed to do, and a good working length that also allows portability. The product designer horribly missed the mark on both accounts. If it was better designed and made in the United States, the asking prioce would be fair, BUT it is made in China and isn't particularly well thought it.Thoughts: This is pretty much the only game in town, so I bought one, but I'm not impressed at all with the engineering or the price given that it is made in China. Since it isn't American made, but chinese, I don't think ti should sell for more than $15-20. I mean, it's a cheap ski-pole with a magnet in one end.

Great for picking up shells after a dove hunt or shooting clays

Buying a 2nd one, believe it or not after years of picking up shell casings and shotgun shells it's starting to wear out. It's done incredible job of it to, Speedy fast can pickup a 5 gallon bucket ot shotgun shells in about 20 minutes or less and steel gun casings in about an 1 1/2 hrs.Seriously recommend it, save your back !!!!
