But sometimes, it is the crappy tool.

What kind of craftsman owns crappy tools? ;-)

either "cheap" craftsmen, or crafty guys, who need something to
loam out, which they don't mind not getting back.

My dad once went to fix something at his mother in laws. She
still had her husbands tools. Lots of screw drivers. All "founds"
from by the side of the road. (Fred 'd been a road worker for a
while.) And Dad found out why they were all "finds" - nobody cared to
make sure they had been packed up when they left.

So yeah, sometimes you have crappy tools, so you can afford to
forget them.

OTOH, it doesn't take many forgotten $1 yard sale knives or
flashlights to equal the one good one you would keep track of.

Go not to the Net for answers, for it will tell you Yes and no. And
you are a bloody fool, only an ignorant cretin would even ask the
question, forty two, 47, the second door, and how many blonde lawyers
does it take to change a lightbulb.
