Device for Working With Small Nuts
Intro: Device for Working With Small Nuts
This is a simple device for picking up and treading small nuts onto machine screws. I work a lot with 2mm screws and found this tool much superior to my aging fingers.
STEP 1:
Cut your dowel to lengths needed. I make several from an inch or so long to four inches so I have one to fit the space I am working in.
STEP 2:
Tear off a piece of poster putty to form around the end of the dowel so it adheres to the end of the dowel with a sufficient amount on the tip to allow picking up and holding a nut.
STEP 3:
Press the poster putty end of the tool onto a nut, it will pick it the nut up and you can thread it onto the screw. Tighten the nut with your usual tool.

Simple but effective. I know what you mean about picking up tiny screws and nuts.
