[GreenKeys] M28LP hold down screws...

[hwhall at compuserve.com]

In lieu of the special tool, a tiny bit of clay or chewing gum will stick a screw onto a screwdriver tip well enough to get it started.  I use a product called Blu-Tack.  It never hardens, so a small amount will last a long time.  It will lose some of it's tackiness as it gets dirty.

Oh My! In my youth as a USAF  30454 ground radio repairman  I had   one of these in my tool box. Truly it saved mea number of  times. Thanks  for  reminded me of this. I should set another. Thanks  for the  source link! Doug!

The special tool might be this:
--   http://www.toolnsupply.com/k36-klein-tools-slotted-screwdriver, about   $10.  There are other sizes.  Google the phrase "split blade screw   holding".  Klein tools was a major supplier to AT&T, they made many   of the standard telco tools.
