Small parts always seem to fall into the worst possible places when you're working on your car. Whether it's a screw slipping into the engine bay or a bolt rolling under your workbench, having a magnetic pickup tool nearby can save a ton of frustration. It's one of those low-cost essentials that's surprisingly useful for car repairs, garage projects, and even everyday projects around the house.
The Dream Master Magnetic Pickup Tool fits that role perfectly, and it's currently available at Amazon for just $12. That's 50% off its regular $24 price, making it an easy, affordable addition to your toolbox that more than pays for itself the first time you drop something that you can't reach.
This compact tool measures just 7 inches long when closed and extends all the way out to 22 inches, letting you reach deep into tight spaces your arm won't fit. It features three bright LED lights and a flexible 360-degree gooseneck, so you can light up dark areas while retrieving screws, nuts, small parts, or even other tools. The magnetic head and base give you multiple pickup options, and the military-grade aluminum construction is both shockproof and waterproof. It even folds down neatly for storage and comes with extra batteries and a stainless steel pocket clip.
Buyers seem to be impressed with how practical and useful this tool really is, with one reviewer saying it was 'exactly what we needed in a pinch,' while another simply called it 'very handy to have around.' A third said it has 'everything you need' and that it 'works great.'More users praise the tool's quality, with one describing it as 'sturdy and reliable,' while others say it's a 'great design, small, and portable' with 'great build quality.' Summing it up best is one customer calling it 'such an incredible tool' that's worth keeping in your car, garage, or toolbox.
This is a limited-time deal at Amazon, so take advantage of it while you can and pick up the Dream Master Magnetic Pickup Tool for 50% off.

Vance tells Musk to stay 'loyal' to Trump's Republican Party amid third party speculation
Vice President JD Vance cautioned Elon Musk against forming a third political party in an exclusive interview on "The Ingraham Angle," saying the billionaire could wield more influence by staying "loyal" to the Republican Party and President Donald Trump's MAGA movement. "My advice to Elon would be to try to fix the Republican Party. Try to push it in your own way. Disagree with me all you want, disagree with the president of the United States, but don't pretend that you can make a big difference with a third party," Vance said Wednesday. "I think Elon would make a much bigger difference if he stayed loyal to President Trump's Republican Party, and if he had disagreements, express those disagreements from the inside as opposed from the outside." The former Ohio senator's comments came after The Wall Street Journal reported Musk is pausing plans to start the America Party to focus on his companies. Fox News parent Fox Corp. and The Wall Street Journal parent News Corp share common ownership. Musk announced in a post on his social media platform X, formerly Twitter, in July that the America Party would be formed to give people their "freedom" back, amid criticism about the two-party system. "When it comes to bankrupting our country with waste & graft, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy," he wrote. The former special government employee who served in an advisory role at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) publicly split with Trump earlier in 2025 over his support for Trump's "big, beautiful bill." Musk argued the bill would add trillions to an already ballooning U.S. national debt and could undermine DOGE's work of cutting government spending. Musk's allies, according to the WSJ, said the SpaceX CEO hasn't officially ruled out creating the new party and could change his mind. "I do think that it would be a huge mistake for Elon to go forward with a third party, and my argument to him is whether you like it or not, you are now perceived by the far-Left as on the side of the American Right," Vance told Fox News host Laura Ingraham. "You believe in law and order, you believe in closed borders, you believe in economic growth and prosperity, you believe in making things in the United States of America. The idea that Elon is ever going to go back to being sort of in the middle, where Democrats and Republicans both like him, that's just not going to happen. He is perceived as being on the American Right." The vice president also denied talking to Musk or other donors about a potential 2028 presidential run amid reports that the world's richest man could financially back Vance. Reuters reported that Musk's America PAC spent nearly $300 million during the 2024 election in favor of Trump and other Republican candidates.

Mobile Illinois vehicle emissions testing site opens at Chicago South DMV
Chicago has not had a state-run vehicle emissions testing site within the city limits since 2016 — but that could soon be changing. On Wednesday, the Illinois Secretary of State's office and the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency brought a mobile emissions testing van to the Chicago South DMV, at 9901 S. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Dr. in Chicago's Roseland neighborhood Right now, it is just a test run. But the goal is to have emissions testing at the facility full-time in the near future. As proof of concept, Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias showed off how it works with his own personal vehicle Wednesday. He also acknowledged many people don't like the process of getting their cars testing. "Yes, everyone hates it, unequivocally," Giannoulias said. The mobile emissions testing site in Roseland is open Monday through Friday through Sept. 12. Giannoulias expects to run the pilot at DMV locations on the Northwest and West sides soon too.

The Best Kids' Scooters for Every Age
This article may contain affiliate links that Yahoo and/or the publisher may receive a commission from if you buy a product or service through those links. When I was done with a stroller, I was stuck with the dilemma of how to get my dawdling kids moving to the park or to preschool. The solution turned out to be a scooter. The key is waiting until your kiddo is old enough to obey the basic rules: no getting too far ahead of your grown-up, and no riding toward pedestrians like a maniac. It's all well and good to go fast at the park, but for sidewalks kids need some basic driving lessons! The scooters my kids learned on were cumbersome and their fold was awkward. Since then, much better versions have hit the market. The following start at age 2 and go up to teens, with lots in between for those preschoolers and early elementary kids. 7 Best Kids' Scooters Micro Kickboard Mini Deluxe Micro Scooter Amazon $120 Micro Mini is an editor fave that gets rave reviews online, too. To steer, a kid just leans left or right, which is easy and intuitive and helps teach balance. The wheels light up, which delights the little ones. It's a sturdy three-wheeler weighing just over 4 pounds, so if you, the parent, get stuck carrying it, it's not a burden. It's got a rear brake and is designed for ages 2 to 5 but can hold up to 110 pounds, so it's extra durable. If your beginner scooter is older, the Micro Maxi is a three-wheeler for ages 5 to 12. Buy Now Radio Flyer Glider Jr Target $75 Radio Flyer's beginner three-wheeled scooter got an upgrade from the less expensive model that has a steering handle. This new one is lean-to-steer, but still has a nice, wide board to give your kid plenty of room for both feet. That's especially welcome if you've got a child who decides they want you to pull them along while they stand on this. The wheels light up, there's a rear brake, and it holds up to 44 pounds. It's for ages 2 to 5. Buy Now Banwood Kick Scooter Maisonette $189 Vintage-inspired design makes the three-wheeled Banwood kick scooter the most beautiful we've seen, and the woven basket at the front is adorable! There's a touch of wood in the base, which also has a grippy material for kids to stand on, and there's a rear brake. Kids steer by leaning. It's for ages 3 to 6 and can hold up to 110 pounds. Buy Now Huffy Disney Princess Electro Lights Inline Kick Scooter Walmart $49 Huffy's scooter is a metal two-wheeler, made for ages 5 and up and featuring favorite characters like the Disney Princesses or Spider-Man. LED lights (powered by batteries, which are included) light up all along the board and the steering handle as a child scoots. The board has a grippy material, and there's a step-on brake at the back. It's heavier than others, at 7 pounds, but can hold up to 220 pounds and also folds in half. Buy Now Mongoose Expo Kick Scooter Amazon $201 The Mongoose Expo is a bigger scooter, with two 12-inch, bike-like tires at the front and back. The handlebar even looks like a bike, making this almost a BMX/scooter hybrid with an exceptionally smooth roll (even over bumps and cracks). Like a bike, the squeeze brakes are in the handlebar. Those inflatable tires and the big alloy steel frame have this weighing 18 pounds, so you don't want to be stuck carrying it — luckily that's not a problem, as kids don't often want to step off! The Expo holds up to 175 pounds, and we like it especially for ages 6 to 9. Read our full review for more. Buy Now Razor A Amazon $40 When my kids were about 8 they graduated to Razor scooters, which are lightweight (4.6 pounds), zippy, metal two-wheelers that steer with a traditional handlebar. The design (and the price!) hasn't changed much in years, and the Razor A gets rave reviews. Although the brand marks it for ages 5 and up, I like it for older elementary kids, tweens, and teens who can make use of the minimalist design to fold it and store it in a locker. It holds up to 143 pounds, has a rear brake, and comes in a half-dozen colors. Buy Now Segway Ninebot eKickScooter C2 Lite Best Buy $150 Segway's new electric scooter comes with a power assist, which tops out just before 10 mph. (That's slower than city e-scooters that adults rent, which travel more like 15 to 25 mph.) The Ninebot is for ages 6 to 14, and we feel it's a great teen and tween choice. The electric charge lasts less than 7 miles, so it's not for long outings (or, at least, your kid will have to accept doing much of the powering themselves if they're going far). This holds up to 110 pounds and, due to the motor, weighs almost 23 pounds. The squeeze brakes are in the adjustable handlebar.
