Take a piece of screen, like window screen. Put it over the end of your shop vac hose. Then put your hose accessory/attachment on over the screen. You can vacuum up the part. When you turn off the vacuum the part will drop out of the hose attachment onto the floor. A good shop vac has a good amount of suction.
Great idea. I made an accessory for other uses that would work in the tight places. 5/8" OD hose on a more better Kirby accessory. If even smaller is needed, just insert a vacuum hose into the 5/8" hose.
