Default RE: Do you have a screw loose..............????

my way: Exploded view + Digital Caliper

When I first got into this hobby, everytime I took something apart and back together. I always have extra screws left(That's bad). A lot of times, screws were in the wrong place too and it was kind of frustrating.

Now what I do is, use the exploded view and my MasterCraft digital caliper. When taking things apart, i just put all the screws together. When it comes to putting everything back, I do it one screw at a time. I check the exploded view and look up the screw in the reference sheet, then use my digital caliper to make sure that it is the correct one. This way I can 100% guarantee that I have all the screws in and in the right place.

Digital Caliper is one of the most useful tools that I've ever purchased in this hobby.
