In tight places with no visibility, maneuvering a screwdriver and not dropping it can be nearly impossible. Here is how I solved this annoying problem.

It has the same problem - with only one hand, how do you guide the tip onto the screw head and also turn the handle?Quote:

Mine don't appear there, so....
A great mystery surrounds socks and 10mm sockets. Must be a connection.
I must be missing something, here. Instead of a sock, I've been using masking tape to attach the screw to the driver... to hold it in place, until the screw is driven all the way in.
If one uses a Robertson (square headed) screwdriver and robertson screws, the screws will stay on the screwdriver, even when horizontal. Ask any Canadian electrician.

For starting slotted or Philips screws I have a tool that clips in my pocket. When it comes to removing them I usually just grab thehandle and aim in the general direction of the screw sometimes need a mirror to find them though.
