Blue painters tape and a marking pen. As I remove parts I label them with the tape and secure the screws with the tape to the item.
Another handy little tool is a ratcheting small screw driver. It is just right for removing needle plate screws that are stuck. Also needle nose pliers.
Mostly bring a sense of humor and fully enjoy the cleaning and fixing process!!

Workroom Tools
There never seems to be enough light. I recommend a light that goes on your head- WalMart.
Then a light on a stand with a flexible neck, followed by various pen lights or flashlights from yard sales. Seems some are always running out of batteries, so get some rechargable batteries with chargers. Now you can see what you're doing. It is dark in those black holes.

I have a pair of cuticle snips in my tool box. They are wonderful for tiny precision cutting. I have found them most useful when re-wiring a motor and needing to get wires stripped as close to the motor as possible. Normal strippers will not let me get in as close as I want. I use the nippers to carefully remove insulation a nip at a time.
