Re: How I spend time in the garage
I spend 50% of my time trying to retrieve tools I dropped into the never-never land.
Matter of fact, when my motor comes out in January for 380 build, I can expect to be reunited with a bunch of OEM, hard to find bolts, nuts and sockets and extensions. |

Re: How I spend time in the garage
I rode my bicycle to classes in college.
Between 12 - 15% of the hand tools still in my toolbox came from the street and the curb (fell - LITERALLY - off property maintenance trucks - even 2 matching open-end box wrenches). Included is a Craftsman 19.2V Sawz-All, which I SAW fall off of a NCState Maintenance Truck at a red light. Wonder who's gonna' find my bolt?

 Was thinking the same thing  I assume you have a couple different Telescoping Mirrors? Three Additional Tools that are indespensible  1. Surgical forceps of different lengths. 2. Telescoping Magnet Pick Up Tool. 3. The Best.......A Digital Engine Inspection Camera (Whistler Wireless Inspection Camera 9mm Model IC-3709PX) . Wireless Bore Scope The Wireless Bore Scope is great for checking condition of pistons (carbon)/cylinders walls as well as looking at what is going on under the Plenum. The Wireless Bore Scope is also great for checking Brake Pads.

Re: How I spend time in the garage
The engine does have a way of 'eating' tools and hardware. Or maybe the gremlins are to blame.

Re: How I spend time in the garage
Next to my #1 tool, the cutoff wheel, my telescoping magnet is a close second!
