Re: [DIY] Headless Set Screws

 

Get a small block of Bee's wax at your local hardware and pushe some into the screw slot.  This will help hold the screw onto the screw driver until you get it started.

I took down a towel rod and attached the brackets better to the wall.
To put the whole thing back together I have to re-insert two tiny
headless set screws into the undersides of the mounting arms. Each
screw has a slot in one end for a screwdriver, something like this:

The screws are too short to hold with my fingers while I start to
screw them in. Needle nose pliers don't grip the screws very well.
If I lose my grip the screw will probably vanish forever.

How can I either hold the screw or attach it temporarily to the
screwdriver? Have seen screwdrivers that are magnetic and others
that have little grippers for screws, but I don't have these.
