I probably shouldn't have been messing with it as I have some dexterity issues due to Parkinson's. But it should have been a simple "remove panel/remove screw holding SSD/swap in new one/screw panel back in and go. It didn't work out well for me this time. I've been using some decent quality jewelers screwdrivers that get the job done. But I find to difficult to guide the screw in-place and get it started without it popping lose and falling onto exposed circuitry of the MB. Do they make any special screw drivers that can mechanically hold the head of the screw until you get it started?

I've watch a lot of your repair videos showing off soldering stations and microscopes, but what about the basic hand tools? What do you and big boss use?
