The Bed Buddi combines a strong magnetic mount with a compact 20-inch retracted length and a 5-foot extended reach to keep a retrieval tool handy, secure, and out of the way when not needed. Built from steel with a load-tested hook and pole, it’s designed to make grabbing loose items, straps, and small equipment faster and safer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Bed Buddi attach and stay out of the way when I’m driving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bed Buddi uses high-strength magnets built into its mounting base so it adheres to steel beds and most bedliners without drilling.
