Since you have seen me I also lost a lot of weight, but didn't help that part, damage done long ago on my knees. Got to see inside my right knee way back in about 1983 when it got scoped. It was already pretty bad, under knee cap looked like some horror movie with stuff hanging all over. They kind of mowed it and after looked like shag carpet, LOL!

Skip, I'm 160 soaking wet and my knees are bad from 40 years of distance running. They say I'm too young for replacements but I'm sure ready. My garage floor has more hooks on it than most shops have one their shelves, I am just afraid to get down there and look. Tie on my friends and just be glad we're sucking air. LOL

GrumpyLoomis, if you're like me (which at 160# soaking wet, you're obvuiosly not!) You can't squat down & do anything except scream in agony, and you're afraid to bend down to pick up anything as small as a hook off the floor for fear of throwing the ol' back out! So, I have 2 "grabbers" for items like thread spoils, packs of feathers or chenille, etc and I also have 2-3 sticks strategically placed in the house, with a magnet attached to 1 end. I'm set@ :D

I have this really strong magnet with a handle that originally wanted to find some pliers in the water. Didn't find them, but I can pick up anything steel for sure, even can find a hook in a garbage can full of stuff, LOL!

Just an FYI, mine is like any wood handle you see on cheep broom and the magnet is round and probably 2" Diam? It's very strong and I am sure that I bought it like that. If you want I will take a picture to show you! Just let me know.

Hey it's got a sicker still on it. The name of it is "The Attactor" also have company name and phone number, but have had it probably 6 or more years I would guess??
