cheap inexpensive solution for those expensive body key grabs they sell on ebay and at hobbyshopsfor the price of a new truck.
bic lighter, small wire shrink wrap(theres a bazillion colors), small length of chain (all can be bought from hardware store)
cut ya a desired length of chain,run the body pin through it, cut a desired length of shring wrap. slide chain through shrink wrap, heat it up to shrink it around chain and wooohoooo...easier to grab those rotten little things with fat adult fingers!
 
thats rather similar to what i used but instead of chain i used small zip ties looped with the knuckle at the end so heat shrink just fits over the end
 
i use fuel tube over a doubled over zip tie. you can color match, or mix and match. make them as long as you want, and you already have all the stuff!
