Looking for something that may not exist, but I sure would like to find one.

I need a nut-grabber. This would allow me to get nuts way up inside
something to get 'em started for bolt backup. It would have to give me just
a little flexibility on placing the nut so the bolt can grab it.

If anyone knows where a neat device such as this is---please point me toward
it!

For small nuts they make little plastic nut starters that are about the
diameter of a pencil but a bit shorter. Hollow on either end, like a
thick-walled straw. Just put the nut on the table, jam the starter over
it, and the round plastic hole deforms enough to grab the hex nut pretty
securely. They cost a buck or two.
