solution to losing small screws

[thehomeengineer]

Hi All
I was asked by a friend if I could have a look at his vapour cigarette. After looking at it, the screws were very small stainless steel T6 torxs. I knew that if I dropped one I wouldn’t have a replacement and guaranteed if I put them in a pot, I would knock it over. So the solution was sat on the bench in front of me in the form of parcel tape. So I tested my idea with some screws that I had plenty of to make sure it would work. The simple solution was to put a piece of parcel tape in the bottom of a plastic container and the screws would stick to the tape so even if the pot was knocked over it would retain the contents.
The photos below show the pot.

The tape is folded back on itself so the tape sticks to the pot

Test screws.

Testing the pot upside down.

No screws lost and the vapour cigarette repaired.

Hope this is post is helpful.
