Just shows you actually work on stuff yourself.

I have many.


Though if you leave floor dry (or kitty litter) on it for awhile, most of it will go away.

When starting a job.

1. Identify the tools required to finish the project
2. Set said tools out (or at least know where they are)
3. Do job
4. Clean tools and return to proper location for next usage.

You might as well be reminding me "right tighty lefty loosy"... You've never made a mistake when following the golden rule? The only tool i've lost in 2 years is a single bit for my screw driver.

Not saying I've never gotten into a job and not had the right tool. But I have always had the obvious ones I knew I would need ready and available.

How do you start changing oil without an catch pan?

The only tool I've lost in the last 30 years was a craftsman 9/16 wrench I was stupid enough to let someone borrow
