Wont work for me. I usually tend to have few "additional" nuts and bolts on the table after "operation". But seriously I believe I have never lost a nut or bolt when working with my cars/van. More than half of that work has happened either on lawn or gravel/sand yard, where its very easy to loose parts, as I dont have garage. And I am most definitely not a professional and tend to loose half of my gloves and sun glasses in no time at all. And yes, I do count all springs, clips, nuts and bolts before I take anything apart. Nowdays everyone has a digital camera, right ? It is the best in re-assembling helper technology I know of. Of course mine is also used by my girlfriend (yes I do have one!) so You can guess the comments I get because the camera is all greasy after being used by me. I always tell her its a good protection against moisture. |
