Duh, I even gave him a suggestion on how to get it out with a pair of needle noise pliers

yeah, because OP clearly didn't think of that before coming to the forum and posting.

*closes eyes*
*pinches bridge of nose*
*sighs deeply*

This is why I would be a terrible moderator. If it was my at my discretion comments like this garbage would be wiped so no one would ever have to read it. I am pretty sure we’re all dumber from reading that. SMH

A simple yellow and black caution stripe border around a collapsed (but expandable) post with a "Read This Post To Reduce Your I.Q." warning at the top would be a good intermediate step between normal posts and IGNORE.

A warning like this.

Maybe Read into the Dunning/ Krueger Effect, It desribes a guy who doesn't know who the dumbest person in the room is...

And Dietrich Bonhoeffer. And a video for those who don't want to read.

Ya know when I was young and just started messing with my first Dart, I was replacing my spark plug wires, unclipped the cap and a clip went flying, how do you prevent something from happening when you don't know it's going to happen? I now know how to prevent that, and it don't involve duct tape.

Its part of mechanics
Even the easiest job can turn to **** at anytime
How may times have gone to change oil on a car and the last guy stripped out the drain plug or the filter is stuck
Or my fav hood don't open
Broken cable

Man, I don't know what you have against me, but at least I offered ways to prevent this from not only happening to him again but maybe someone else.

I don't want to put his thread off the rails telling you. If you and the Mods want I can start a new topic and tell you. Nothing against you personally.
Again if ya want I will start topic of its own on DTM.
Or you can ask and start one again

It's already gone off the rails, and the OP has been wandering ALONE, and UNHERARD FROM in the Desert of Lost clips, bolts and tinyparts for days. I figure He died.

Just one more option tip, if You want to fish around w/a magnet, use one stuck on the end of a length of heavy solder wire. Just don't pick a mega-magnet, for small parts it isn't needed, & will just grab the nearest steel/iron surface & glue itself there.
