I've just dropped a whole load of screws....
has anyone invented a magnetic picker upper
perhaps with a battery and a switch
and a probe i can stick in a tight corner
and pick up the screws with it
then flick the switch
and drop them off???

or just use an old speaker magnet?

In a polythene bag. Drag over floor until bag is covered with screws,
then turn bag inside-out and remove magnet.



Try the magnets inside an old hard drive .. their good for this...
