Pete B Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I'm finding that, not only having to put up with worsening close vision, I seem to have developed fingers like tree trunks!I bought some small disc neodymium magnets for hatch and canopy closers recently. I've found that attaching one to the shaft of any tool such as a screwdriver, spanner or so on that I am using holds tiny screws, nuts, washers etc in place to allow fine positioning.Excellent, too for retrieving servo screws when they drop into the fuselage or wing bay!

andy watson Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I am thinking about buying some to hold the cowl on on my stuka. I did buy some, but think they are too small- need to rebuy some bigger ones. No ugly screws for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 You might also want to think about getting a ' pick up tool ' also known as a ' pearl catcher.' This has 3 tiny wire prongs which can hold a servo screw etc tight enough to insert and even start the screw into the pre-drilled hole or thread.Avail from Proops or Maplin etc. Cost is about a pound or so for plastic version ( lasted 15 years so far ) or a bit more for the metal cased one. Essential tool for any aero modeller! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy watson Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 The (th emagnets, not the pearl catcher above) are also fantastic for pinning things to the fridge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
