If it has a large rare earth magnet on it, it should have a good pull to it.

I don't have reason to own or use one of these picks (yet) so I have no personal opinion, but.... in a few places I've read that hunters/detectorists often prefer a model with the magnet on the other end of the handle for better access to tight places.
If you want to DIY, you may even find similar looking tools at places like Lowe's or Home Depot and hardware stores generally carry a good selection of magnets in a variety of strengths and sizes which are all easily attachable.
