Abstract: A broom or rake fitted with magnetizable tines for attracting ferrous debris, when the tines are magnetically energized. The tines extend into a tubular section of the handle of the tool in which the field of a magnetic element or electrical coil serves to magnetize the tines. The magnetic field may be turned off by means of an actuating lever or switch mounted in the handle of the tool so as to enable the tines to drop magnetic debris, and the lever or switch permits reversing of the magnetic field to eliminate residual magnetism formed in the tines after extended use.
