Popular Post gee-dub Posted March 11, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 11, 2018 Not really a Jig or a Fixture but, seems like it would go here none the less . . . Your method of doing something like this will vary with your storage methods. I use Plano boxes for screw storage. I stick a piece of "ruler" marked tape to the lid. This gives me a quick place to check fasteners right where they are stored. I just use a piece of the tape that is 4" or so long. I don't care that it doesn't start at "1" or that it reads in reverse. For its purpose it is useful from any random whole-inch starting point. I space the tape off from the edge of the lid a bit for pan head and washer head in order to assure a good measurement as I keep some lengths in "tweener" sizes like 1-3/8" or 1-1/8". 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdwerker Posted March 11, 2018 Report Share Posted March 11, 2018 Good idea. I've got several end trimmings of adhesive scaled tapes. You could re-number with a Sharpie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronn W Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 Can't count the number of times that I end up chacing a screw around on the floor trying to hold the screw is one hand and a tape in the other. I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
