Except when you've replaced them twice. Annoying when the custard says "Oh yes, I wondered when youd come and collect them".....as if I could ever remember where I left things!

True! Got a set of bahco wide jaws once.

Mind you, I've paid for them 10 times over with all the tools and jackets I've lost

Those magnetic pickup tools are essential in this job.

The worst are Kopex pipe slices as they can roll away under floorboards, drop down stud walls and are non magnetic so I can't get them with the tool.

Haha love this, I've lost a few 4mm allen keys, as the photo, usually on external grants putting the cover back on to check combustion, then not taking it off again after!
Not found any tools yet, what's the deal with that, finders keepers?

did same with the printer off my sprint went back following year open cupboard door and it was still there

 

[Dannypipe]

Lost a pair of jaw bhaco a few years back. Capping off a pipe under a floor in a bathroom. Did it. Went and had my cuppa, forgot about them. Floor got tiled and there was no way it was coming up. So they are sat there under the floor waiting for the next bloke. Probably be a bit rusty by then!

It was annoying as I for once knew exactly where I had left the tool. Idiot.

My brother dropped my estwing brick hammer down old flue, didn't get it back for 3 years . Forgot about it ...,. Clearing debris and there she was like a long lost childhood friend.
