Yeah, I remember seeing one of those tools at Home Depot, but I'm pretty sure it was made in China. I noticed that on the website, it says "Designed in the USA":

I just discovered a 5-pronged one, but I don't know where it's made. It seems most of them are 4-prongs, except for that 3-pronged Ridgid one I mentioned earlier:

I wish the Ullman made-in-USA one was a 3-in-1 tool like this one, that is a magnetic, LED-lighted 4-pronged claw:

Unfortunately The Vancouver Tool Library doesn't carry such a tool, or a vacuum pen like this one:

Though I think my jumbo Q-tip might be too heavy for it to lift, though I've seen corded vacuum pens that hook up to a machine, so I'm guessing they'd have more suction power than the non-corded types.

I did notice that The Vancouver Tool Library has a sink auger:

and toilet augers:
