When working on a wheel/tire (with both beads loosened), and an object accidentally falls inside the tire, what’s a good method to get it out? Assuming you don’t want to go to the bother of completely removing the tire from the wheel. My current go-to method is to stick a wad of duct tape on the rim inside the tire then maneuver the wheel until the object gets stuck to the duct tape. Is there a better way?

Just pull one bead over the wheel and easy to reach inside…
But you also never said what wheel/tire (size, type)…
Or how big the object is! There’s that old “monkey trap” legend (?) where the closed fist won’t come back out of the hole!

Easy way and a hard way.
Really? You already have the beads busted, isn’t that enough?
