Just a thought - a few of you might have problems keeping a tiny screwdriver blade within the slot (slotted screws such as Pocher) of tiny screws.

As you try to turn the screw, the flippin' screwdriver slides out of the slot, possibly scratching the surrounding paintwork. Also, it takes umpteen attempts before the said screw is finally in.

Find a piece of small rubber tube such as kit radiator hose, or the shroud from a piece of electrical cable such as on an old wired mouse, phone charge cables etc...

Cut a piece off and slide it onto the end of the screwdriver so it also covers the end of the blade.

Put the screw into the rubber tube end and fit the screw.
No probs.

Roy.
