A mechanic caught the attention of internet users after revealing an infallible trick to recover a screw that fell under the hood of a vehicle he was working on.
Bryan showed the trick in a video shared on his Facebook page with the caption: “Mechanic trick that no one talks about.” In the clip, he began by purposely dropping a screw inside a car’s engine compartment.
Then he placed a small magnet inside a glove before placing it on his finger. “Now you have a magnetic finger that can fit into tight spots,” he said in the footage.
With the glove covering his finger, he was able to reach the area where the bolt fell. Then, due to the magnet, the screw locked directly into the sleeve, allowing him to remove the part quickly.

Bryan’s video has already accumulated more than 1.9 million views, more than 24 thousand likes and several comments from Internet users who were impressed by the clever workaround.
“It’s not a stupid idea if it works!” one Facebook user argued. “Mine usually fall through a portal and are never seen again,” joked another. “Brave of you to assume that I can find the nut/bolt that fell out,” admitted a third internet user.
