    Do magnetic brooms work well at collecting steel casings (for cleaning up the range)?

    They'll definitely work. even the ones without the wheels. But it'll take more than 1 pass to get it all; and from different directions.

    Now if only they had something to find and pick up brass cases like that. :)
    ... and you should be able to "set" the calibers you want to pick up. I say we invent this first and then the perpetual motion machine.

    ^^ wow, I have now been on INGO long enough to begin learning the ways of purple. ^^

    Nothing works as well as exercising your back to not be ruined by bending over. :twocents:

    Seen lots of gadgets through the years. Remember the fancy tarps and nets and nut pickers?

    Still gotta bend over with some frequency, whatever you use.

    The argument then turns into; do you want to stay in shape to bend over or avoid it to then hurt something so you can't?

    The only one i dislike finding brass for is my 10mm RIA 1911. With a 24lb recoil spring, it still launches them 30+ feet away.
