TIP: for retrieving canes, goblets and/or straws from LN2 tanks
You can purchase a 23-inch flexible shaft, 4-prong claw retriever tool from almost any auto-parts store for $5.74 – $29.00, depending on the brand. They are an excellent way to retrieve canes, goblets and straws that have inadvertently found their way to the bottom of a LN2 tank without having to empty the entire tank.
