Being an old fart who has trouble bending in the middle I have a reaching device. It has a magnet in the end it. I have used it or other magnetic devices to probe the space time continuum in the spit and have found many interesting things around and under the seats.
 
With a little help from Mother Goose it's back!
"Leave them alone and they'll come home" :encouragement:
My daughter called me to say "something" fell onto her feet".
My wire stripper was behind the dash and just fell out as she was driving.

Well at least it wasn't a snake that fell out of the dash! Glad you found them! I have a flash drive that I put "somewhere" for safe keeping. I have not bee able to remember where I put it to save my life. I just remember that when I put it wherever I did, I thought "this will be a good place to keep this thing". Then, a couple days later, I tore the house apart trying to remember where I'd put it! It's somewhere - and I'll probably stumble across it one day when I'm not looking for it.

 
I'll keep an eye out for it in case that time/space hole opens up here in PA.

This morning I found my flash drive. Was not looking for it, but happened to open an aluminum camera case that was on my bedroom closet and there it was!
 
See what happens when you don't focus

I've a set of those, they are too big to lose, IMHO. But that time vortex thing has grabbed other smaller tools of mine from time to time. It happens more often as time goes on in linear fashion for moi, as well.

Nothing is too big to lose. Seem to spend 50% of my time looking for tools now. Sometimes gets to the point that I have forgotten what I was looking for. Find it a better use of time to move on to something else if I can't put my hand on the tool I need after a short search. The one I needed will be in the way of the next task.
 
Nah didn't fall out from the dash you all know it just came back
you know from the time rip.....
it is the only logical explanation
:cool:
 
I just looked at the Klein stripper. I've had one of those for about 40 years.Never knew its name. Only problem - if you guess wrong, you cut through the wire itself. I also have a couple of those little strippers - quick and dirty. Sometimes a razor blade knife is quicker and safer, especially with a short wire.
