How about the saftey glasses you walk around the shop for 20 min just to find them on you face!!:cool:

And then theres the 9/16 wrench you wander around looking for from hell to beakfest, getting madder and madder, just to find it gripped ever so tightly in your left hand....

Re: Stupid tool tricks

No one mentioned those darn pencils!!! I was recently making a side board in my boat to cover up some old speaker holes. Took all the measurements, wrote them down, transferred to my plywood and then measured again and noticed I missed an inch. Needed to X out the wrong line and make a new one. Darn pencil was nowhere to be found. Looked around for it for maybe 5 minutes and decided to get another one. Went inside to get it and while there grab a drink. Hard to get the bottle in your mouth when that pencil is in between your teeth. :D

What is worse is when it happened about 30 minutes later, but only took 4 minutes to find this time around. :)
