Blue Tack
Just a tip. Use blue tack to stop nuts, bolts, screws etc from falling off or out of sockets, screwdrivers etc., when starting them back on, in difficult access situations. I've had some that even the magnetic ones wouldn't hold sufficiently. Once nipped up, the blue tack can be scraped off easily.

Also for cross head screws ( esp to stop those radio ones falling down into the console, use a tiny piece of paper between the driver and the screw head and jam the screw on the the tip , holds it well enough ..

I usually carry some Blu Tac in either car. Comes in handy for all emergencies.
