I don't have a picture of it but I came up with a pretty nifty tool today

it is a 2 foot long aluminum tube, maybe about 3/16 of an inch thick with a 1/8 internal diameter
I grabbed about 6 foot of 6 pound test fishing wire which I doubled up and fed through it so there was a loop at the bottom end of the tube
I left it sticking out maybe 3 inches

now I could reach right into the hole of the fender where the hood hinge sits and I could reach all the way down into to fender and slip the loop over the neck of the bottle of locktite I accidentally knocked down in there

pulling on the ends of fishing wire I could tighten up the loop around the bottle so I could lift it out

Never thought of that, thanks!
