What was it fixed to? The magnet, not the broken half shaft?
Agree with Thor. I would stick it to the end of alloy or plastic bar with epoxy.
Think I will end up gluing it. Its only cos I found it at work that im asking. I probably wouldn't go out and buy one but handy to take off roading and doesn't take up any space.
Bonded into the end of a placcy tube might be good!
must admit to having two of then, a smaller one on a radio telescopic ariel type of thing, and another larger one - very strong magnet glued to a thicker type of telescopic wand, works very well for what I`ve ever used it for,
but as op sez, sticks to everything as you try to use it..alli tube would be good to "place it" though
radio aerial type thingy. the half shatft had snapped big stykeee into several pieces. but got em all out.What was it fixed to? The magnet, not the broken half shaft?
I saw magnets for sale at Peterborough but never paid em any real attention.
Took about an hour to get it all out
Quicker to take the diff out........well, nearly.More like this 15 Lb. Capacity Telescoping Magnetic Pickup Tool
The whole of the splined diff end part of the shaft shattered into about six pieces......had to play the 3 dimensional jig-saw puzzle game to make sure we had it all
Never had anything to do with a Salisbury axle but ill take your word forritNot on a Salisbury it int
