ok, it happens to me everytime i work on a car, i put down a tool and 5 seconds later, it GONE! About 2 years ago, i bought a large craftsman set of tools, but Ive lost so many tools so far and tongiht I finally had enough. I went back to sears and bought another 318 piece set of tools to replace what i lost. I just dont get how my tools dissapeared though, They never turn up, people must steal them from me or they are magical and they get up and walk away themselves, wtf, from now on i have to lock my tool cabinet when i'm not in my garage and its not like anyone in my house touches them, its weird. At least now maybe i can finish my GF's monte, now that i have tools to put the car back together :roll: ... sorry i just had to complain...i complain alot... mainly about my tools....

Its part of Sear's plan to keep you buying tools... I know... I work for them. They have a "black magic" core that makes them disappear... dont tell anyone I told you...

what are all these black hummers and heilcopters doing at my house?

did that but i made it a mile from my house and turned into my freinds driveway before i heard that. Then walked in the middle of the road to pick it up.

On the 4th gen, theres a great tool "pocket" on the cowl under the windshield. I usually leave stuff in there and find it next time i pop the hood.... was freaking cause i lost my 13mm rachet wrench till i went to retighten the headers......

I use to use my pops tools all the time, so i would hear him say that his tools are missing lol. But now that i have my own tools in a nice 40in stainless steel tool box, i keep it locked at all times. just in case my pops wants to borrow a tool. haha

When i removed the mighty 305 from my car I found a adjustable wrench, a 10mm wrench, and a few sockets.

I used to have that problem. Now I use one of those magnetic trays and I always put tools down there an nowhere else....this way I know where thay are and they can't fall down anywhere.
