Im really fond of my stainless parts tray with the equivalent of speaker magnets attached to the bottom. Great at keeping track of all those small parts once out or finding them when they escape.
There's a pic that occasionally comes up on the FAL Files of a guy with a perfect spring mark in black grease on his face from yanking that FAL buttstock off and not being ready for it. I'd heard about it, so I was careful - and still about ate it. I don't have the tool, but I did get it back together by running a coat hanger through it and the nut, and slowly compressing the spring and bending the coat hanger behind it as I went, to contain everything. Worked like a champ, but I'd recommend the tool.
