type of screwdriver to puncture anything. This will damage the head of the
screwdriver.
Component Retrieving Tools
CAUTION Needle-nose pliers and tweezers may be used to position and retrieve
pieces that may be difficult to reach with your fingertips. There are also tools
called part retrievers that have been specifically developed for this task. When
using these materials, do not scratch or touch any of the components.
