Dadoboy Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 I was at the local HD, and in the tool section they had a flexible grabber (lack of a better word), but it was metal. I was wondering if anybody know of a plastic one that I could use. It was about 2 or 3 feet long with like 3 little fingers that sprung out of the flexible tube. You squeezed a trigger at your fingertips and it opens and closes the little finger things... I hope someone comes up with the real name than finger grabby & hopefully it comes in plastic... I sure could use something like that.. Thanks- Dave A.
Dadoboy Posted June 21, 2008 Author Posted June 21, 2008 Sure. Pull my finger Ah... close... I have those... I can't do anything w/ it.. tooo big.. this had a much smaller dimension.. almost like a size of a ballpoint pin... and the tip was no more than 1/2 (maybe even 1/4) inches big and was flexable... think it was for picking up autoparts that may have dropped... like a screw, nut, washer.. Thanks- Dave A.
wtfe Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 i use an old stainless steel surgical clamp for finger grabby extension tasks in my tank. works really good at frag/glue placement and abysmal macroalgae removal.
GrandpaFeathers Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 my dad has one, it would be so useful for dead things in the rocks. my mantis kills all. haha
reefone Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 ive been using a finger grabby thingy in my tank for about a month. it hasnt rusted yet
davidncbrown Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 ive been using a finger grabby thingy in my tank for about a month. it hasnt rusted yet Ha, finger grabby thing... I use a long pair of surgical tweezers for getting stuff out between the rocks... A finger grabby thing might be easier...
reefone Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 Ha, finger grabby thing... I use a long pair of surgical tweezers for getting stuff out between the rocks... A finger grabby thing might be easier... ive got those too. sometimes i just dont feel like getting my arm wet.
Dadoboy Posted June 22, 2008 Author Posted June 22, 2008 ive been using a finger grabby thingy in my tank for about a month. it hasnt rusted yet So, your saying that it's ok to put metal in the tank? I had some long tweezers once, but then I read about the metal, so I stopped using it. Plus - I like the flexibility of the thing..
reefone Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 i dont think using metal in the tank will hurt anything. as long as it isnt just sitting in the tank rusting away.
jennifro Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 I will have to look for the finger grabby things. I use a pair of plastic chopsticks. They work pretty well for most things but some stuff is a little slippery for them. Thanks for the idea!
