Had some work done on my truck and found this under the hood. It is about 24" long, looks like a thermocouple. Long end has SET900WF stamped on metal, then copper wire and at the other end is a magnetic piece of metal. Any ideas what it is.
What is this??

Yep looks like a homemade mag pick up. Probably used to extract the plugs, F150 plugs sit deep so it would help to have a mag with reach. Called them and will drop it off. Thanks for the input.
Not that it matters, but its not homemade.

Learn something new everyday, thanks for that bit of knowledge. It looks more like a thermocouple that someone repurposed. I am sure they will be glad to get it back even if it is inexpensive.
Funny thing is that the hood is open when it is in the garage, have it on a battery tender. I bet I had it open a dozen times since the work was done. It must have been tucked away on the side because the magnet attached to the lift cylinder and I saw this weird wire that looked out of place.
Returned it and you would have thought it was a $100 tool instead of $10, in other words they were appreciative. Guess it is the thought and effort that counts.
so what you are saying is…that the mechanic needs a pick up tool for his pick up tool?
