screw starter

[RetiredUnit1]

Here's a real time saver for tiny little screws, this one is a #4. My fat fingers have a very hard time just pointing these in the right direction, let alone starting them. We used to call these "nose pickers" in the IT department where we were always using them for those annoying little screws on the back of the PC cabinets during repairs... I've had one for a long time but it was plastic and broke last week after 30 years of faithful use. This one is all metal. **nice**





I guess they're used for body beads now too....

It is suitable for clamping parts because you can press down the prongs bead catcher and four claws will appear. The prongs bead catcher is made of stainless steel material. This product has a non-slip effect because the prongs bead catcher is designed with lozenge pattern handle.

My fingers aren't even fat, I'm just super clumsy. I could definitely find several (thousand) uses for these, thanks for sharing!

I would’ve loved this when I used to work on watches. Now those fuckers are tiny!

Sorry if this sounds dumb, but wouldn't a magnetic tipped screwdriver do the same thing?

Not when you use stainless!!! I have cats. They do terrible things to zinc plated screws, plus you can torque these suckers down without having to worry about ripping the threads out. And then, when you do use the magnetic screwdriver the screw wants to magnetize to the edge of the nut instead of going in the center!
