    Retaining screws, washers, and other parts

    Pretty simple really, just use alligator clips to keep sub-assemblies from falling apart when working on items where some designer went out of their way to hold everything together with as few screws as possible.

    Personally, I'd use more screws so things like the motor could be tightened without depending on the strength of the fan housing.
