Default Dropped on of the circular spacers for the APR bipipe down there. No problem, get my magnetic tool..
oh sh^t, the spacer is aluminum! Can't remember how I retrieved it, but it was a pain.

Other than that, the magnetic extension tool has been a live saver. Picked up many parts that I couldn't even see. Just fish around until it gets it.

A couple zipties, but that's really no big deal.
