Drop them on the floor, they are frickin' GONE.

I painted my shop floor white. When I keep it clean, it makes part
finding a metric ****load easier.

When I'm taking apart something with hard to replace parts, I do so
within either a white pillow case or a large clear garbage bag.
Those spring loaded thingies don't go far or find nooks and
crannies.

A flashlight lying on the floor makes tiny parts cast long shadows.

In theory, yes. In reality, silver-gray metal (screws, springs,
clips, etc.) on a gray concrete floor cast a gray shadow. And since
most things aren't white, the contrast is much better on my white
floor. YMMV.

(I got -so- burned out on battleship gray working for one company, I
never want to see the color again, TYVM. The building, floors, walls,
carpeting, chairs, tech benches, and ceilings were all shades of gray.
Damned old Navy farts, I swear...)
