Can do the job easily in one go using a 'Grabber' held in one hand, about as 
difficult as holding a pen and WITHOUT the risk of losing a washer, screw or 
whatever. The tool was also stocked by RS (Radio Spares) at one time, their 
stock number 537-293 and described as a Retrieving Tool. After starting to 
thread the screw (with washer) using the Grabber, the job is completed with 
a screwdriver. The tool can also be used to hold a screw and washer in place 
while the mating nut is threaded onto the screw with a nutdriver ( assuming 
Clinch Nuts are not being used) to illustrate just one of the many other 
jobs that can be handled.

Standard disclaimers apply, a satisfied user long converted from magnetic 
methods!
