Q: How is the built-in LED light powered?
A: The light is powered by internal batteries, which can be replaced with Mayhew part number 45055 when they are depleted.

Q: Is the shaft rigid or can it hold its shape?
A: The shaft is fully flexible, allowing it to bend around obstacles, though it is designed to be maneuvered rather than to hold a specific complex shape like a stay-put wire.

Q: Can this tool pick up non-magnetic items?
A: Yes, because it uses a mechanical four-jaw claw rather than just a magnet, it can retrieve plastic, brass, aluminum, and other non-ferrous parts.
