Where a Hispanic Catholic, and a Computer Geek write about Gun Rights, Self Defense and whatever else we can think about.
Yup. Those are tweezers, long ones. 12 inches, 10 inches and 8 inches.
I got tired of attaching sticky stuff to dowels and other ad hoc measures when trying to retrieve non-magnetic items from constricted spaces, namely the garbage disposal.
I think I spent under $10 in Amazon and the look on my wife’s face when she saw them was worth the cheap price.
Semi-retired like Vito Corleone before the heart attack. Consiglieri to J.Kb and AWA. I lived in a Gun Control Paradise: It sucked and got people killed. I do believe that Freedom scares the political elites.

Please turn off the power before you start fishing in the disposal, even with the tweezers. Your fingers will thank you.

Get yourself a 2.5 or 5 gallon paint bucket with lid, some PVC pieces and tubing.
Make yourself a suction collection jar and hook your vacuum up to it.
Great for picking up things like beads and whatnot. Vacuum it up and then sort through the bucket for your stuff.
I picked up a cheapy made-in-Pakistan set of curved and straight hemostats from Amazon for exactly the same reason. Cost me about $19 for a set of six. As hemostats they’re trash; but as parts-picker-uppers and drain-fisher-outers they’re pretty handy.
NJDave nailed it.
Also add a telescoping magnet like this. I have two, but this slender one gets more use.
