Is it me or when you work on your car and you use a ratchet or wrench and put it down, you loose it and have a hard time finding it when it's right in front of you. Lol

^^ I see what you did there :keke:
Nah man I never have that problem cus I always put my tools back in the bag / box when I'm done using it... #1 pre-emptive strike on tool loss!
But yeah I know what u mean about putting it down for a split second and then its like "wait what"... thats why I always put em on that spot between the windshield and the hood, that way you'll know even if you close ur hood if theres any tools you misplaced

True. A soon as u start spending way too much money on tools u tend to loose them less. It's kinda like a crack head with crack. The truck is the crack house an the snap on guy is the dealer. Before u get in the truck u say to yourself "I'm just gonna make a payment" then five minutes later u walk out with 200$ in tools (crack) and u have no idea what happened lol

That, and the nicer tools usually have bright colored handles so you notice them.

Invest on one of these and just always lay your tools back in here...

nothing turns a bolt better than a $250.00 Snap on 3/8" swivel head ratchet

Happens literally ALL the time. Especially with bigger projects. But at the end of the day I some how find everything. Definitely need to get one of those carts, it would make life a little more stress free.
i literally lost 2 different lug nut keys at the same time.
to this day, i still have no found them.
i CLEARLY remember taking off one set of my lugnuts using 1 key, installing the second, and torquing them down with the second. i then put it on the ground and drove my car around... couldn't find them after i came back.

I always misplace 11mm and 14mm sockets, I swear they disappear on a regular basis.
