I build and repair airplanes. Many of the parts are non-magnetic, and when a tiny part falls down into a deep space where human fingers won't fit, retrieving the part can be quite a challenge. This tool makes non-magnetic debris retrieval easy. It has strong tiny fingers on one end, actuated easily with the push of a button on the other end of the tool. The tool is stiff enough to be guided to the right place, and flexible enough to go around obstacles. I love it!Not a magnet. False advertisingI have used this numerous times. Helps when nonmagnetic items have been dropped in an engine bay or tight space. Picks them right out.I needed this tool for work ordered it and when I opened the package the tool broke into 3 parts and could not put them back. I emailed the company and did not get any feedback from them. Not happy as I had to buy local for 3 times the price.Good quality tool recommended to buy one if you do allot of wiring stuffHave it when I need it. Works greatGreat tool!will not extend "fingers" locked up.
