Default Air Vent Help

Ok so I was using a drill bit to make a hole in my air vent when oooooooooops I dropped the drill bit down the air vent. Any suggestions on how I might get it out.

I was thinking of tying a magnet to a piece of string and lowering it down and going fishing but is there an easier way?

nah ure best doing that. Make sure you have a very powerfull magnet. If youre into R/C cars use a old 540 motor. The only other way i can think of is taking the vest apart and that would be more stressfull then it needs to be. hope this helps

just try and replace the screw. I do not think it will screw up your system hopefully.

Its not a screw. Its a drill bit. like a 3 inch long bit that goes in a power drill. I think I might be able to get it. I swear I heard it clang around while I was driving to work today.
