Both of you missed the point. The problem was not the cost
of replacing the pair of pliers. The problem was that
leaving them where they fell risked major problems when the
associated equipment was started. The pair of pliers could
have caused hundreds - perhaps thousands - of dollars of
damage.

What is a "zip line"?

I think you're missing the point - obviously you're not a
tool junkie.
He wants _more_ tools, not the same number!

Those little universal jointed mirrors on the extensible

puter or other
electronics. Too bad they don't have mirrors that would
reverse the
