    ISTR, Argos do these under "Life Aids", but I also STR that they might be expensive. Why not get him one of those long retriever tools for rescuing screws, etc. whilst working on the car or other DIY - cheaper and more useful afterwards.
    The acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in my life. :)
