Cementex Announces the MRT-18-LED Rechargeable Magnetic Retrieving Tool

July 18, 2024

Cementex announces the MRT-18-LED, a rechargeable LED light up magnetic retrieving tool. This tool strengthens electric safety work practices by illuminating the exact location of a lost screw, nut, or tool that might have fallen inside a panel. By doing so, it eliminates the need for professionals to carry a light on their heads, in their mouths, or in their hands.

The MRT-18-LED features an 18” flexible shaft that combines a strong magnetized tip with a rechargeable LED light at the tip. The product is rated, such that it can be used anywhere with its 1000VAC/ 1500VDC rating. This flexibility combined with its rating allows the product to be used in a wide range of projects that require enhanced safety measures.

The light provides a well-balanced beam with a 5-sided glowing CSP LED that easily twists off and on. It also offers a wide range of brightness levels that can be calibrated to fit the needs of a specific project. Its maximum output is 150 lumens, which runs for 15 minutes before falling to 50% of charge, while its minimum output is 5 lumens, which runs for 6 hours before dropping to 50% of charge. The product’s insulation cap and magnet tip are removable to allow a full recharge in 75 minutes via a micro-USB charger port.
