I don't lose many tools, but I do temporarily misplace them until I figure out the last place I used them. I confess to some notable disappearances:
(1) Back around 1971 I lost a nice body hammer. No idea how or where, because I never used it outside the garage where I lived way back then.
(2) A brand-new Craftsman 16-oz. hammer. I took it with me when I moved to Madison, WI, to work on my doctorate. I couldn't find it when unpacking so bought a cheap one to get by for two years. When I packed up to move back to Minnesota I found the hammer. I hauled it back to Minnesota and have never seen it since. (Moved back in fall of 1988! Hammer is still in a box somewhere 34 years later, still brand-new.)
(3) A Makita 14-volt drill and battery. I took it somewhere but don't recall why, and now I haven't found it after months of searching. I have an identical drill with charger and three more batteries, but I still want to find the missing one.
(4) A gunsmith tap and die set from Brownells. It hid itself away three or four years ago. I've offered grandkids a reward of $100 if they run across it, but no luck so far.
These are all tools that never leave my house or buildings, never get loaned to anyone, hardly worth stealing. With the exception of the body hammer which is gone for good, I'm sure they are all here somewhere. I just accumulate too much stuff in which they can hide. I need to get organized (or so I'm told).

Today's Featured Article - Tractor Implements and Their Use - by Curtis Von Fange. Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he reached his early sixties
