Keep Track Of Tiny Screws With A Piece Of Paper Or Cardboard

When you take something apart, such as a laptop, to fix it, you’re often left with screws of various sizes that like to roll away. Here’s a cheap way to manage them: push the screws into a drawing of your object.

Tecchnibble forum member Aaron demonstrates this smart idea: Draw a rough outline of the laptop, including its battery cover and other basic features, then punch holes with an awl or something similar where the screws are. Punch the screws into the holes and you now not only keep the screws from mysteriously disappearing, you have a map showing you where everything goes when you have to reassemble the whole thing.
