Dropping Stuff in that Plenum or Header area

[Dynomite]

I thought I would just post up quickly about a very simple and inexpensive tool you can get on Ebay in any length. I choose the 16 inch length as the most helpful for grabbing nuts, washers, bolts that I drop in the plenum area or in around the Headers or down below in front of oil pan ;)

If you drop stuff....here is the tool.

A 16 inch straight Hemostat (Ebay has many). On the Ebay Search....just type in Hemostat and the length you would like and also type in Curved or Straight (Hemostat 16 straight for this one). The beauty in addition to being sleek to reach tight spaces is that it can be locked (ratched locked) once you get hold of what you dropped.

Particularily useful for Stainless steel and Aluminum Nuts, Bolts and Washers :thumbsup:

Darn, I'd have never thought of that! Sweet one Cliff.:thumbsup:
