Yes, I've used the masking tape trick many times, but, like I said, "No room
to get my fingers down in there" for securing the screw on the OUT that
worries me.

Subject: Re: [MBZ] Gripper screwdriver
My dad had one of those too, it was great. My dumbass thieving cousin
stole all his tools though, so it is gone wherever, forever.
In the absence of the tool, a bit of masking tape wrapped around the screw
head and the screwdriver shaft will work.

Many years ago (maybe 50), I had a common screwdriver (shaft about 6
inches, or so) with a screw gripper spring on it that could help keep
from losing a screw into the abyss like that beneath the monovalve on my
91 350SDL. Spring on opposing sides of the shaft had tips that would fit
under head of the screw, etc. 'Spose Auto Zone may have such to help
with my pending valve kit replacement? No room to get my fingers down in
there. 'Plan to pack paper towels around the valve, too, in order to put
a top on the abyss.
