A fair portion of my initial Craftsman Socket Set lie somewhere dormant in the woods behind my house.......seriously. Each individual 12 point or 6 point was sent off with a resounding curse bomb of sorts. That was back when I did alot more wrenching than now. How your neighbors react (yours did fine, mine haven't) speaks volumes.

I have a 30+ year old Snap on extending, pivoting magnet for fishing fun time like the adventure you detailed.


PS Re: woods and laughing neighbors, My cars are at my rental house in a garage my father, brother and I built. I'm certain the people nearby either think I have Tourette's syndrome or can't hold a wrench.

I have a 24" flexy magnet gizmo I bought with a push button on the end, best tool I ever bought in terms of peace of mind.

...It's still better than paying $150+/hr labor to let a dealer mess up your car. Hey, if I'm gonna mess up my car, I'm gonna do it myself!!
