Long ago and far far away, I purchased a little plastic container of  
some stuff call Tech-Tac.  Basically beeswax I think.  Sold with an  
Oldaker part number at the time, but no longer shown in their catalog.

It will stick anything small, magnetic or not, securely to the tip of  
a screwdriver, holding washers on screws, etc.  It's something I don't  
know how I'd manage without.  There must be something similar  
currently available.  The one small container seems to have been  
enough for a lifetime ...
