Either I lost or my helpers lost for me: 1/4" and 5/16" chucks, 12" malco folding bar, Estwing hammer, small gauge wire strippers, 18" pipe wrench, and countless thermostat screw drivers.

Magnetic chucks and stick thermometer. I am always going behind my boss and picking up tools, drills, hand tools, batteries, gauges
I don't lose tools. I might leave them behind for a day or two but that's it. And I ALWAYS remember where I left them. I'm probably jinxing myself by saying this though. How many of you guys keep the tools you find? If I find a tool I leave it behind. You never know when the guy who left it is coming back. One of my coworkers is a little superstitious and believes that if you take the tools you find you'll lose yours somewhere down the road. Might be something to that...
For many years I never lost any tools. This was because I knew exactly what my tool pouch weighed. When I picked it up I could immediately feel if so much as a screwdriver was missing. And also; every tool went into the same place every time. So I could instantly find anything - even in the dark or when reaching behind me. But beyond that; I could tell at a quick glance if anything was missing. I still have the pair of channel locks I got in my first tech school. <g> I don't use them anymore - but I still have them. That has all faded because I don't clean up as much any more. For many years I did only service so I was always moving but now sometimes I work on the same thing for a few days so I clean up less and so lose more things. And besides that; I have two of everything now and each is 1000 miles from the other - so it's not always as clear in my mind as it once was. But I really very seldom lose anything still. If I go into an attic or a crawl I always put everything into the 3 gallon pickle bucket I use for my shopvac base - my whole tool pouch and anything else I am taking Justin Case. Jostling a tool pouch around beams, and ducts, and trusses and all that just seems too risky in terms of something falling out and going un-noticed.

They always get lost first... Been buying an economy version for around $4 at the big box stores... May look at the dollar stores for a $0.99 version... Same with utility knives... been getting the silver ones at Horrible Freight... buy half a dozen at a time... usually for $0.99 when they are on sale!
