This. I spent extra time trying various length extensions, flex extensions, 1/4" u joints, micro ratchets, telescoping magnet, etc. The skill is really in having the experience to feel out the situation and select the combination of tools/methods that works best. I don't recall being frustrated but it did require patience, creativity, and tool options of which I switched up numerous times. Thinking back, I wish I would have documented the process.
