My clips are inserted in the connector approximately 17 feet from the
fuselage.Â* No chance of dropping them inside. :-DÂ* For me the string is
to catch the clip, should I drop it, so it's not lost on the ground.

Jesus rod?

The phoebus connections are made outside the fuselage, if dropped the pins fall to the ground. I keep mine in an altoid tin along with the pin for the Jesus rod. Gives me one more positive check that pins are in. Box empty, pins in.

Any sources for plastic hemostats (with bent ends)? On the phoebus you have to reach into the wing and pull the brake rod out for hookup. I plasti-dipped a set of pliers but would rather have a plastic set. I was told that using pliers could score the connector ball, not desirable.
