The pruning shears I've lost several times in the last few days that

Carpenter's pencils in natural wood. Found a great deal on a couple
dozen at the borg. At the end of the day several are invariably swept
up with wood scraps and sawdust.

I know this is a silly post, but what could the reason be for such
stupid colors?


There's always "safety orange" spray paint...

One summer on the apartment construction site where I was the gofer, I
was stuck being the key-keeper for the tool crib. After about the first
week of chasing stuff, I started highlighting all the common-use tools
with dayglo pink spray paint. Cut the shrinkage rate a bunch, and made
the MIAs a lot easier to find whilst doing the lock-the-doors walkaround
at the end of the day.
