yep. and that's you have to have a can of random bolts and nuts you found on the floor or behind the vise at other times.
 
arolling magnet isgood to have,,. especially for cotter keys and Jesus clips ,.bolts, wrenches like to bounce between the treads of a tractor tire , seems like they have MIND OF THEIR OWN
 
How true!

A year or so ago, I was adding a bit of oil to my wife's Chrysler T&C. (For some unknown reason, that thing always has used about a quart in 3,000 miles).

I sat the oil filler cap on the radiator support, and somehow it fell off. From where it was, it should have had a clean drop to the floor with nothing in the way on the way down. I never did find it, although I looked all over both the vehicle and floor with a flashlight. I had to buy a new cap.

Next time our local NAPA shop had it up on a hoist, I asked them to look for it, too. They couldn't find it. Maybe some years from now if a salvage yard dismantles the vehicle they may find it somewhere.
 
Taking a guess that the yellow part of the pie also represents how many have tried dropping a second bolt from the same location in hopes of seeing where it bounces off to and lands.
A desperate last ditch effort to find the first one.
The effectiveness of this method is pretty close to the blue portion on the pie chart.
 
Twice in my life I have seen people drop a second bolt and both times it landed within inches of the lost one. If I tried it I'm sure I'd lose both of them. I dropped a 1/2" socket in the engine bay of a car one time and couldn't find it, almost 10 years later I found it while working on the car again.
 
That is what is so maddening about dropping and losing something. You know for absolute certain that it will turn up years later when you no longer need it.
 
I replaced a power steering pump in a Ford Ranger; as I remember, I had to remove the radiator. I lost an 8" breaker bar somewhere below the radiator. Never found it.
 
I was residing my pool house last week, couldn't figure out why old siding on one side was bowed. Found a pair of channel-locks wedged between the plate and siding that I lost about 10 years ago. Looked for hours then and couldn't find them.
