Description
What sinks is not always lost. Sometimes it is just waiting for the right hand. The Iron Retriever is that hand — a 400lb-pull neodymium recovery magnet built to reach into rivers, wells, and construction sites and bring back what the water took. Dropped tools, lost keys, iron scrap, even the occasional treasure: if it is magnetic, it comes home.
The core is a grade N52 neodymium magnet, the strongest practical class for this work, mounted in a rugged block housing with double-sided attracting surfaces rated at 150kg. A 20-meter salvage rope completes the kit, so you can lower, drag, and lift in deep water or awkward shafts without a second trip to the truck. The 60mm diameter face concentrates force where it matters, gripping through silt and sediment.
From fishermen probing a favorite hole to contractors recovering hardware from a flooded trench, the Iron Retriever turns loss into retrieval. It is the tool you hope you never need — and the one you will be glad you own when you do.
This is not a magnet. It is a promise that nothing valuable stays gone.

Application Scenarios
Anglers sweeping riverbeds for dropped tackle and lost lures, dock workers fishing hardware out of the water, contractors recovering tools from flooded trenches and manholes, divers lifting iron debris before it fouls equipment, and weekend salvage hunters searching old swimming holes and boat ramps all use the Iron Retriever. Wherever water hides metal, this magnet goes looking. Property managers recover dropped keys and tools from drainage grates and light wells before they cause expensive call-outs, while dockhands sweep mooring areas for lost hardware. Construction crews use it to fish steel debris out of flooded excavations, and hobbyist magnet fishers report consistent finds on old boat ramps and swimming platforms.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How strong is the pull?
The magnet delivers a 400lb vertical pull when the face is in full contact with a 30mm steel plate. Pull strength decreases with surface gaps and coatings.
Q: Can it lift from a distance?
Magnetic force is contact-based. The magnet must reach and touch the object; the 20m rope gives you the reach to do that in deep water.
Q: Will it attract objects through sand or mud?
Loose silt and mud do not stop the field, but thick packed sediment reduces grip. Drag the magnet slowly along the bottom for best results.
Q: Is the magnet safe to use around electronics or watches?
N52 magnets are very strong. Keep the magnet away from phones, watches, credit cards, and medical devices.
Q: What comes in the package?
The kit includes the magnet block and a 20m salvage rope, ready for immediate use.
Q: Can the rope be replaced if it wears?
Yes. The rope is standard salvage cord and can be replaced with any rope rated for the working load.
Q: Will the magnet demagnetize over time?
Neodymium magnets retain their pull for decades under normal use. Avoid dropping the block onto hard surfaces or exposing it to temperatures above 80 degrees Celsius, which can weaken the field.
Q: Can I use it to find metal in murky water?
Yes — that is its primary job. The 20m rope lets you sweep a wide radius while the flat block face stays close to the bottom where sunken metal rests.
Q: What is the best retrieval technique?
Lower the magnet slowly to the bottom and drag it in overlapping passes. When you feel a grab, lift gently and steadily so the load seats fully against the face before hoisting.
Q: Is the rope strong enough for a 400lb pull?
The included salvage rope is rated well above the magnet's practical working load for recovery work. Always lift with steady tension rather than jerking to protect both rope and catch.
