Why is it that every time I need a pair of needle-nosed pliers, I have to go buy a new one because somehow the old one has gone missing? I mean WTH? All of my tools are hung up nice and neat where they belong, EXCEPT that one. And of course, it's the one I need to remove a screw that the head fell off of.

I'm just gonna buy like five pairs and hide them from everybody, lock em in a drawer or something in the hopes that they don't disappear anymore.

Amputate your hand and attach the pliers there. Now you can be edward pliers hands!

I have mini pliers, 3 pairs of regular needles, a regular pair of pliers and some extra long needles (about a foot long). Keeping tools organised is critical when you're woking. Nothing more annoying that looking around for something half way through a build.

Just put everything back in the box or keep an area for tools when you're working. Just drop them all together so you never have to hunt. Same goes for nuts/bolts/whatever to remove.

I do, I have a few toolboxes I use, plus I have a pegwall that I hang stuff on. But people (my neighbor and his goddamn kids) are always borrowing things, and it's to the point that I have to lock stuff up to keep them out of it, and I guarantee you that's where this last pair of pliers went :(

Been there. Now I never lend anything out, especially my precious tools. I hate lending things out as they always get trashed, be it CD's, DVD's, clothing... anyhting

There's a reason why I have three sets of those.

...and sometimes I still have a problem finding one.
