Yup. I have been there. They are "press-on, press off" little buggers and can cause some frustration at 10 pm when you lose one and thought you were almost finished! Now, before I try a project I look at all that stuff and go buy spares of all the things I know I will lose along the way. Better for my stress level and probably my marriage.
