The Sealey AK653 Flexible Claw Pick-Up Tool is an essential utility for automotive mechanics, DIY enthusiasts, and maintenance professionals who frequently work in tight or obstructed spaces. Featuring a 610mm reach and a robust spring-loaded mechanism, it simplifies the recovery of small components like dropped screws, nuts, or bolts from deep within engine bays or machinery. While its flexible design is perfect for navigating around obstacles, users should be aware that the claw mechanism is designed for smaller, lighter hardware rather than heavy-duty lifting.

The total length of the tool is 610mm.
No, the AK653 uses a mechanical four-prong claw system rather than a magnet.
It is designed for small components like screws, washers, and nuts, not heavy-duty automotive parts.
While the materials are durable, it is best practice to allow components to cool before inserting the tool to protect the cable housing coating.
Press the plunger down fully to open the claws as wide as possible, center the claw over the object, then release the plunger slowly to ensure the prongs settle around the item.
Check the tip for trapped debris or grit; clean the claw mechanism with a light solvent or compressed air.
Apply a small amount of light machine oil into the handle housing to lubricate the internal spring assembly.
This tool requires no formal setup or calibration; it is ready to use straight out of the packaging. To maintain the longevity of the Bowden cable mechanism, avoid over-bending the shaft beyond its natural limits, as this can cause internal friction. Keep the claw mechanism free of excessive oil or debris by wiping it down with a clean rag after use. Store the tool hanging vertically if possible to keep the cable straight, or coil it loosely to prevent permanent kinks in the housing.
