Holder for 2-56 Screws

Here is an idea that I heard about that seems to work pretty well. Use a piece of 3/32" I.D. tubing to hold a 2-56 screw for initial insertion and tightening (e.g., to attach a transmitter to a transmitter cup). I previously used a Klein screw-holding screwdriver for this task, but the screw would sometimes slid out when I was trying to attach it. If you have ever tried to find a 2-56 screw that has fallen to the floor you know how frustrating it can be. I have not had a screw slip out of the tubing.

Thank you.  That is an excellent tip.
