Bamboo chopstick... they're hard, strong, and don't scratch surfaces.  they can reach in anywhere.  Wrap sandpaper around them, sharpen the end to a wedge to scrape glue or grease, etc.  Hands down the handiest item in my tool box!  You won't find many photos of my bench work that don't include a chopstick.

Great for detailing cars as well.  Removes wax from around emblems.  Cheaply bought at any grocery store.
