These are two tools I tend to use a lot. They look alike! The one on the left is the common magnet that allows me to retrieve those darn little screws when I drop them in the fuselage of a plane. The one on the right has been indispensible...a little flexible flashlight that helps me see into the cramped recesses of my planes.

I like the clothespin idea and have been employing it for years. That homemade gadget from an electric wire twisty cap is a very cool idea...I might have to make one!

Thanks to Propworn for starting this thread, a great idea. There might be an old one somewhere, but there are always new ideas and newbies. Jon

Sorry about the size of the pic...dunno how to shrink it or thumbnail it!
