Are you droping screws when re-assembling your electronics? Wrap solder around the screwdriver then 3/4 around the head. Start the screw and lift the driver up to move solder out of the way…then finnish tightening the screw.

Then Polish the screw, not Finnish.
Clever
Either that or use a holding screwdriver lol. I like the ingenuity though 👍
I just magnetize my screwdrivers. Most screws will then stick to them and make life a lot easier.
Or, just use one of these…

and that’s why you get yourself a magnetic screwdriver
Y just put some tape around screwdriver tip
Yeah, magnets only get you so far, until you need to gynecology your way deep in a metal enclosure
This will work brilliantly for bigger screws, but for tiny ones, you can put a tiny dab of rosin paste flux on the tip of the screwdriver, and it usually holds it reasonably well
Vaseline grease
great tip! I use tape or magnetize my screwdrivers, but tape is hell to clean up afterwards.
did you forget magnets exist or do you only work with non magnetic screws?
