Abstract
A narrow, pliable tether or strap attaches at opposite ends to a panel and a screw respectively in order to flexibly retain the screw to the panel away from the screw hole. A variety of attachment means between the tether and the screw may be employed. C-clip style jaws on the end of the tether may be employed to fit into a groove under the head of the screw as the preferred means of releasable screw attachment. Thus, the tether is free to rotate on the screw to avoid binding as the screw is turned. An adhesive, either first applied to the tether or the panel is employed to attach the stationary end of the tether to the panel.
