    OUTSTANDING!

    Very glad to hear it's out.

    BTW, I didn't know they sold surgical forceps at HF? :D :p

    Ok ok, you got me, the forceps didn't come from HF :)

    I had called far and wide to assemble an arsenal of tools yesterday, and the forceps were just what I had sitting next to me at the time. I think one of those flexible, claw pick up tools could have served the same function.

    That is what I was gonna suggest - I have a magnet on a flexible/adjustable line, which I am sure you can get at any automotive store for a few bucks. Same with the mirror.

    Good to see you got it out.
