Two of my favorite shop tools are a bright flashlight and an extendable magnetic pick up tool. I wish primers were magnetic.

I just use the shop vac and sort them when I have nothing to do. There is a surprising amount of gravity in the southern hemisphere. Never found thosr Savage extractor bits though.

Things that roll under an inconvenient location - SOCKETS!

Back in the 1960's, when I used to do a lot of car work, anytime I dropped a socket it would roll right smack under the middle of the car.

In the 1970's, after they added all the antipollution gadgets and lots of other crap (just my opinion), if I dropped a socket it did not even make it to the floor and it was a challenge to find where it was hung up.

Had a set of factory Toyota wrenches that came with my FJ40. Eventually, I ended up missing one and was without for several years. When we finally did a frame off restoration, ... I found it latched to a bolt on the rear frame crossmember.

For anyone who has ever spent 2 minutes to launch a spring that took only (hopefully) 4 hours to find (if at all).

I remember the first time I took apart a 1911 and the safety/slide plunger went into orbit!
My cat saw it and pounced on it and I retrieved it.
That’s another proof that our furry friends are angels.

Years ago I had a Holland and Holland side by side that needed a new main spring. Somehow I managed to launch it into never never land. Had to buy another new spring. Almost exactly a year later year later I walked in to the shop and could feel a rock stuck in the lug of my boot. I bent over to pick the rock out and it the spring!
