You know that tool that tightens the do-hickey that holds your grinder wheel in a 4 1/2" grinder.  I know it is in the garage somewhere...and I will find it this Spring when cleaning out the garage, but in the meantime...I needed to use my grinder.  So...I made this...works great !!  I keep this one in the box with the grinder.  

 

 

  had the same issue same tool . but kept using a channel lock pliers to un screw mine pinched fingers a few time then month latter there it was just sitting there looking at me

             Now if you could only remember where you left the box with the grinder in it!

It’s nice and bulky too; harder to lose!

I once bought a thing at the store.

Then I lost it and had to buy more.

Hidden well from myself,

In plain sight on the shelf,

I’m starting to feel rather sore.

I bought a few bright orange tape measures so they would be easy to see when I put them down someplace. Unfortunately when you put something on top of them that bright color doesn't do a bit of good.

Had the same problem. When I finally found it I zip tied it to the cord...

I'll bring a handful to the show.....

 

 

 

 

                                              if I don't forget where they are.

I'll be sure to write down the size I need and then probably forget the paper it's written on.

Last year at the Big Show, I picked up a part I really needed. Got home and couldn't find it anywhere. Been looking since, and just yesterday I found it! It was right where I put it at the show.

I REALLY do have a great memory...but...my recall is terrible!

 Looks like someone has mislaid a few grinders.

I'm sad when I cannot find the $20 I was sure I had. But I'm delighted when I find it in a pair of pants I haven't worn in a year!

You spent the extra 20 on 10 dollars worth of gas.
