Coat hanger?

figured I’d get an early jump today before I take my kid to the dr, just wanted to get the flex plate to torque converter nuts on finger tight so I can torque them later; and wouldn’t ya know it first one I dropped into the bell housing and I can’t get it out. I’ve been stacking one of those “pen magnets” down in there but I can’t find it… I really don’t want to have to split the engine/tranny again…

this is why sometimes i wonder why all cares dont have inspection covers
