I have a simple solution for keeping my small metallic parts from dissappearing when I dissassemble my vehicles for repairs/cleaning. I use a bingo wand with a magnet in the end of it (stole it from wife sshhhh!!!).

When I remove a part I simply stick it to the bingo wand and its there when i need to replace it. Also the 2nd benefit is if you lay your tools (screwdriver, allen wrenches) on it as your working they become magnetized and help when you're trying to replace that small set screw or chassis screws.

RuStY nUtZ i have a couple of those myself, also if you go to a craft store they sell 12x12 sheets of magnet tiles that people can cut with siccors and use on the back of crafts. I ve got 4 on my work table and havnt lost anything yet.(unless it goes flying through the air,)

I use the magnetic bowls...but I like the magnetic sheet idea:thumbsup:

RPM makes a parts tray that's similar to those bowls for like $2.00. That's what I use.

what do you use if you have all stainless steel screws???? sticky mouse trap..lol....
