'Lifted' this from a model engineering magazine. May be reinventing the wheel for some. Loose washers on short studs could be fun!
'When I find it difficult to place a ferrous fastener in an awkward position or in tight quarters, I slip a small, flat (3/4" diameter x 1/8") neodymium magnet into the index finger of a thin mechanic's glove. When I put on the glove, I place the pad of my finger on the magnet.
Now, the fastener will stick to the glove because of the magnet inside and I can position it where needed.'
Much nicer than a blob of grease on a bare finger!
But not as tasty!
