Really feel sorry for the big guys with some of those tight spaces. Most the time if I drop a screw, it is when the case is in normal upright position and it is just a matter of tilting the case until the screw hits the bottom and rolls into a position where you can grab it. |

| 372342 | 2005-07-15 07:36:00 | I use magnetic screwdrivers for awkward places pressf1.pcworld.co.nz But it may be a good idea to keep them away from floppy disks. I have to go along with you here. But who uses floppy disks any more? Make bootable CDs and go from there. JMHO. |

| 372343 | 2005-07-15 07:50:00 | On the floor below where you are working have a piece of white painted hardboard. It shortens the time spent looking for the errant screw plus lessens the volume of blue smoke emitted. Blue tac is my favourite method. The other useful tool is a stick of stiff bendable plastic with a small magnet on the end to pick up a finger inaccessible screw. | FrankS (257) | ||

| 372347 | 2005-07-15 08:58:00 | Wow,so restrained a response!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seeing I carry around a pouch full all day,of screwdrivers, I should be good at it. :stare: A very steady hand, and the magnetic drivers as well. And I've found it helps to hold your breath.Until the screw drops. |
