I am sure many of us have had that "where did I leave the (insert name of tool) ? " moments. How good are you at finding stuff ? Courtesy of JOAT's link site  : http://www.am-wood.com/games/tmatch/

I always start searching at the furthest point from where I am standing.

I guess I'm not "blessed" with so many tools that I experience that one much. Normally I know exactly where I left it. That's not to say that that is where it will be when I go to retrieve it. But with a sparsity of tools at home and my shop packed up in a 10 x 20' storage unit along with all our other "non-essentials" (read "junk"), what I usually experience is, "I know it's in there... somewhere."

I find them when I am doing something else later and set down and lose what I am now working with to retrieve what I lost earlier. | |

Shoot. I'll lose something 2 minutes after I last had it in my hand.
Now, where is that "Submit Reply" button?

I never lose my wallet, keys, etc. Maybe if I start putting all my tools in my pocekts I won't lose those either!
