Magnetic lifting tool

A magnetic lifting tool for use in removing ferrous debris, said tool comprising:

• an "L" shaped handle including an elongate hollow vertical leg and a hollow vertical leg and a horizontal leg of lesser extent than said vertical leg, and
• a hollow securement sleeve slidably secured to said handle along a first extent portion of said sleeve and fixedly secured to housing means along a second extent portion of said sleeve, said first and second extent portions of said sleeve spaced at opposite ends of said sleeve, and
• said housing means including a cylindrical housing of a first diameter and socket of a second diameter directed upwardly of said housing means accepting said securement sleeve, and
• a magnetic means for magnetically attracting ferrous debris secured within said housing means, and
• wherein said horizontal leg includes a frictional grip encompassing a majority of a surface defined by said horizontal leg, and
• wherein said securement sleeve is formed with a series of axially spaced openings cooperative with a resilient detent secured within said vertical leg and projecting through an opening in said vertical leg to cooperative with one of said spaced openings, and
• wherein said socket is of a diameter to accept said securement sleeve therein including a plurality of fasteners to secure said securement sleeve with said socket, and
• wherein said first diameter is six inches and said housing means of a height of one inch to define a six to one ratio of said first diameter to said height, and
• wherein said housing means includes a working surface formed of a magnetically attractive metal,
• and said surface formed along and defining a lowermost face of said housing, and
• an upper surface and sides of said housing means formed of plastic-like material.
