Forceps

Today I dropped a skinny metal rod when I was changing the battery in my mom's car. Luck would have it that the rod did not fall straight through but got lodged somewhere difficult to see and reach. Luckily there were forceps in the tool box and we were able to reach the rod, pull it up a little so I could grab it with my fingers. Man was it tricky!!

Bonus: My gel manicure was not harmed in this adventure.
