Wont work for me. I usually tend to have few "additional" nuts and
bolts on the table after "operation".

But seriously I believe I have never lost a nut or bolt when working
with my cars/van. More than half of that work has happened either on
lawn or gravel/sand yard, where its very easy to loose parts, as I
dont have garage. And I am most definitely not a professional and tend
to loose half of my gloves and sun glasses in no time at all. And yes,
I do count all springs, clips, nuts and bolts before I take anything
apart.

Nowdays everyone has a digital camera, right ? It is the best in
re-assembling helper technology I know of. Of course mine is also used
by my girlfriend (yes I do have one!) so You can guess the comments I
get because the camera is all greasy after being used by me. I always
tell her its a good protection against moisture.
