The SME Magnetic Shell Pickup Pole is a practical tool for shooters who want to recover spent shotshells from the ground without bending or crawling. Built around a strong internal magnet, this telescoping aluminum pole extends from 38 inches to 56 inches, giving you reach that adapts to different shooting positions and ground conditions. Whether you're cleaning up after a clay course, collecting brass at an outdoor range, or policing your shooting area, this tool saves your back and speeds up post-range work.
The pole features two aluminum shaft sizes (19mm and 22mm diameter) that telescope smoothly for compact storage and easy transport. A plastic handle with an attached wrist strap keeps the tool secure in your grip, and the sewing label on the strap means you can customize or identify it if needed. The magnet is embedded in the pole's end, so you simply position it over a spent shell and the magnetic attraction does the work—no reaching, no fumbling in tall grass.
If you shoot shotgun regularly—whether trap, skeet, hunting, or pattern testing—brass and shell recovery is part of the job. This pickup pole is especially useful on ranges where walking the grounds after a session is expected, or anywhere you want to avoid losing money on reloadable hulls and clean up efficiently. It's also a good fit for folks who manage shooting areas and need to maintain them between events.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this work with all shotshell types?
The magnet attracts ferrous materials, so it will work reliably with most standard shotshells that have metal casings. Always check your shell type if you're unsure about magnetic pickup compatibility.
How much does it weigh, and is it portable?
The supplier materials don't specify the weight. However, the aluminum telescoping design and compact 38-inch collapsed length make it lightweight and easy to throw in a range bag or truck bed.
Can I use this on a clay range?
Yes, this pickup pole is ideal for clay shooting ranges where spent shells scatter across the ground. The extended reach (up to 56 inches) lets you cover ground without bending repeatedly, and the magnet gathers shells efficiently even in grass or uneven terrain.
Is the magnet strong enough not to drop shells?
The magnet is rated as strong and is embedded directly in the pole's end, so it provides reliable attraction. The wrist strap also prevents accidental drops of the tool itself while you're working.
