  1. If you drop something on the floor when you're young, you just bend down & pick it up.
    But at my age, I stand there for 5 minutes, deciding whether I actually need said item anymore.....

      Seriously though, those telescopic magnets are great.

       

      My late mother used one for retrieving pins she dropped on the floor when she was sewing.

       

      Sticking a light on the business end would make the things even more useful.

      Aldi had a telescopic magnetic pickup with an led light built into the head (hole in the middle of the magnet) so you can see what you were aiming at. I have one, its pretty good! . Rather like this...

      This is from Amazon, though at nearly £7, its a bit dearer than Aldi was.

       

      Aldi also did a mirror on a telescopic stick with LED lights, rather like the devices that bomb disposal operatives use to inspect the undersides of vehicles...

      It beats me why they built the ground so low down.
