Empire 18-Inch Rolling Magnetic Sweeper — 50lb Pickup Capacity
Professional Magnetic Pickup | 50lb Capacity | Adjustable Height Handle | Quick-Release Lever | Steel Construction | White Wheels
Every Dropped Fastener Is a Liability Waiting to Happen
Gutter installation means fasteners — hundreds of screws, nails, and hangers per job. No matter how careful the crew, some end up on the ground. In the driveway. On the lawn. In the flower bed. The homeowner does not notice them during the installation. But a week later, when a tire goes flat or a bare foot finds a roofing nail, the phone rings. The callback is not about the gutter work — it is about the damage or injury caused by metal debris left behind. The Empire 18-Inch Rolling Magnetic Sweeper — also called a magnetic pickup tool, nail sweeper, magnetic broom, metal debris collector, fastener pickup, and rolling magnet — eliminates this liability with a single pass across the work area. The 50-pound pickup capacity handles the volume of fasteners that accumulate on a typical gutter job. The 18-inch sweep width covers driveways and walkways efficiently. The adjustable-height handle accommodates different operator heights and sweeping angles. When the magnet is loaded, the quick-release lever drops collected debris into a container — no bending, no hand-picking, no missed fasteners hiding in grass. For gutter contractors who want to leave every job site clean and avoid the liability of dropped metal debris, the magnetic sweeper is standard equipment. GutterAll supplies magnetic sweepers to gutter contractors and general contractors throughout the Pacific Northwest and nationally from the Damascus, Oregon location.

The Hidden Cost of Dropped Fasteners — Why Job Site Cleanup Matters
A gutter installation crew arrives, completes professional work, and leaves. The gutters look perfect. The customer is satisfied — until a few days later when something goes wrong. A flat tire from a roofing nail in the driveway. A punctured foot from a screw hidden in the lawn. A child finds a sharp metal hanger section. The gutter work was excellent, but the job site cleanup was incomplete. Now the contractor faces a callback, a complaint, or worse — a liability claim.
This scenario plays out across the industry because dropped fasteners are nearly invisible. Screws disappear into grass. Nails fall between gravel. Cut pieces of hanger material land in flower beds. Visual inspection misses what the eye cannot see — but a magnetic sweeper finds everything. The magnet does not distinguish between visible debris and hidden hazards. It pulls up every ferrous metal object in its path, including the fasteners buried in grass or hidden under leaves.
The Empire 18-Inch Rolling Magnetic Sweeper — also known as a magnetic pickup tool, nail sweeper, magnetic broom, metal debris collector, fastener pickup, and rolling magnet — makes job site cleanup systematic instead of random. One pass across the driveway. One pass along the walkway. One sweep around the work area perimeter. The 50-pound capacity magnet collects everything, the quick-release lever deposits it into a bucket, and the crew moves to the next job knowing the site is clean. For gutter contractors who build their reputation on professionalism, the magnetic sweeper is the difference between hoping nothing was left behind and knowing the job site is safe.

Why This Matters — The Real Cost of Skipping Magnetic Cleanup
The direct cost of a dropped fastener is zero. It falls, it lands, the job continues. But the indirect costs compound. A punctured tire is $150-300 to repair or replace. A foot injury is a potential liability claim. A complaint to the Better Business Bureau or a negative review costs reputation and future business. The magnetic sweeper costs less than a single tire replacement — and prevents all of these scenarios.
Beyond liability, there is professionalism. Customers notice when a crew takes time to sweep the job site. It signals attention to detail. It demonstrates respect for the property. It differentiates contractors who care from those who rush to the next job. The magnetic sweep takes five minutes and communicates volumes about the quality of the operation.
For multi-crew operations, magnetic sweepers become fleet equipment — one per truck, used on every job, no exceptions. The consistency protects the company across every installation, every property, every day. When a customer mentions how clean the site was left, that is the magnetic sweeper earning its value through reputation.

Magnetic Sweeper vs. Manual Cleanup — Why the Magnet Wins
| Cleanup Factor | Magnetic Sweeper | Manual Visual Search |
|---|---|---|
| Hidden Debris | Finds fasteners in grass, gravel, leaves | Misses what eyes cannot see |
| Time Required | 5 minutes for full sweep | 15-20 minutes; still incomplete |
| Consistency | Same thoroughness every job | Varies by worker attention |
| Physical Strain | Standing; push-broom motion | Bending, crawling, hand-picking |
| Liability Protection | Systematic; defensible process | Random; no documented method |
50-Pound Pickup Capacity — Built for Real Job Site Loads
Gutter Installation Debris
A typical gutter job uses hundreds of fasteners — screws, nails, hangers, rivets. Even with careful work, dozens end up on the ground. The 50lb capacity handles the accumulated debris from a full day of installations without becoming overloaded.
Roofing Tearoff Support
Gutter contractors often work alongside roofers or handle gutter-related roofing components. Old roofing nails, shingle debris, and flashing scraps accumulate rapidly. The 50lb capacity collects the full volume without multiple emptying cycles.
Commercial and Multi-Unit Jobs
Large commercial properties and apartment complexes generate more debris than single-family homes. The 50lb capacity handles the increased volume of these larger projects, providing thorough cleanup without capacity limitations.
How It Works — Simple Operation for Consistent Results
| Operation Stage | What Happens | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Rolling Pass | Push sweeper across work area | Magnet attracts ferrous debris |
| Magnetic Collection | Nails, screws, metal attach to magnet | Debris held securely during sweeping |
| Quick-Release | Pull lever to break magnetic contact | Debris drops into bucket below |
| Continue Sweeping | Release lever to re-engage magnet | Ready for next pass |
Adjustable Height Handle — Fits Every Operator
Ergonomic Operation: The telescoping handle adjusts to accommodate different operator heights. Taller workers extend the handle; shorter workers compress it. The result is comfortable operation without hunching or overreaching, reducing fatigue during extended sweeping sessions.
Angle Optimization: Different surfaces require different sweeping angles. Flat driveways work best with a more vertical handle position. Grass and uneven terrain work better with a lower angle that keeps the magnet closer to the ground. The adjustable handle accommodates both without compromising operator comfort.
Compact Storage: When fully collapsed, the handle shortens for efficient storage in work trucks, trailers, and shop spaces. The sweeper stores vertically or horizontally without taking excessive space.

Usage Guide — Empire Rolling Magnetic Sweeper

- Position sweeper: Place the sweeper at the edge of the work area, angled to cover the most debris-dense zones first.

- Cover driveway: Sweep the full driveway area, including edges where debris may have bounced or rolled.
- Sweep walkways: Cover all walkways, paths, and areas where customers or crew members walk.
- Check perimeter: Make a pass around the entire work zone perimeter to catch debris that landed outside the main work area.
- Sweep lawn areas: Lower handle angle slightly and sweep any lawn or landscape areas where work occurred.
- Release debris: Position sweeper over a bucket or container. Pull the quick-release lever to drop collected debris.
- Inspect magnet: Check the magnet surface for any remaining stuck debris. Remove manually if needed.

Usage Safety and Care
Keep hands and loose clothing away from the magnet during operation. The magnet is powerful and can pinch or trap fingers. Wear gloves when manually removing stuck debris. Keep the sweeper away from credit cards, electronic devices, and magnetic media which can be damaged by strong magnetic fields. Store the sweeper away from tools and equipment that could be attracted to the magnet. Do not use on surfaces that could be damaged by magnetic force.
