Do you tend to drop small screws, bolts and nails when you work high
up on a ladder or in really tight spaces? If so, here's how to get a
"clear grip" so small fasteners and parts won't slip. From deep within
the Carey Brothers' vault, we wrap things up. Indeed, says here,
to keep from dropping small screws, bolts and-or nails, especially when
working high up or in tight spaces, first, push your fastener of choice
through a 6-inch square of kitchen plastic wrap. Then holding it and the
fastener tight against the head of your hammer or tip of your
screwdriver, wind the wrap tightly around the tool pulling it tight to
hold the fastener in place. Then with one hand, you can hammer or twist.
Once it's successfully started, tear the plastic wrap away and continue.
