My dad showed me a trick which involves putting whatever you need to
take apart and your hand in a clear plastic bag. You tape the bag to
your wrist then take it apart. Any ballistics are caught in the bag.
He showed me this for a gearbox he got me as a toy, the bag worked but
we didn't know where the little balls had come from so the gearbox never
got put back together.
For those who flame, this was not an Alfa box, it was found in a skip
behind a rebuild place by my dad's friend, who thought I might like to
play with it.
