    Extended-Length Retrievers for Small Parts

    Compared to our other retrievers for small parts, these retrievers are at least three times longer. Their shaft bends to reach into awkward spaces and then bounces back when pressure is released. All retrievers have a plunger to open and close either their jaws or their cable loop. They work well in FOD (foreign object debris) removal, FME (foreign material exclusion), and FOSAR (foreign object search and retrieval). They’re also often used with a borescope (not included).
    Make sure to unwind any kinks and check that the retrievers aren’t coiled or twisted before use.
