I use strip chalk or a piece of paper towel to hold a bolt in a socket when attempting to put the bolt in a difficult access place.  What are your socket tips or tricks?

    You can buy small flat magnet sheets at Hobby Lobby and cut them and use them as needed inside the socket.

    I use a small amount of wheel bearing grease to hold the bolt in the socket
