Small magnet glued to a stick. I did have a bit of a breakdown the other day building up and dismantling 100+ 6BA nuts with man sized hands, and had a think about how to dress it up as a fun task to get my 6 year old nephew to do it.

Hi I use a lot of BA nuts, mostly 5,6, and 8, and even down to 10 & 12. .. (Yes 10 & 12 are a little harder, but OK)

So what I do, is I lick my finger, and add the washer on, then link my finger again and add the nut on, then roll my my finger over the nut. It usually works OK, then tighten with a tube spanner, but don't use too much pressure when tightening.

 

Leslie.

 

PS.  Just think of watch makers they go from 12 downwards?   ...   BA  is the Thury Thread, and they go right down to No.25
