It's like, when you drop a nut, a washer, bolt, etc. right in front of yourself and it's nowhere to be found.
I want my nut back.

...yup.And you wonder where that ball bearing from the clutch actuator in your HT went?

You need one of these too for when the Garage Gremlin wont declock it and its right in front of you.
I find these and a good bright flashlight help to find stuff on the floor hidden by the gremlins. now misplaced tools on the other hand are not so easy to find. Need a much better way to store tools so I can tell one is missing.
See what I mean?The Gremlins in my garage play mean tricks on me at times by putting wrenches in my back pockets and fasteners in my front pockets when I know I didn't put them there in the first place!
In the movie industry it's called 'continuity'. They have a person on the set that watches for things like how much liquid is in a glass, or how long a cigarette is from scene to scene to make sure when they put the scenes together on film they match.There's an episode of the Twighlight Zone from 1985 called "A Matter of Minutes." It's based on a short story called "Yesterday was Monday" by Theodore Sturgeon.
Anyway, in the TW episode a couple wakes up and discovers a construction crew "building" the next minute of the day. Every minute must be constructed by the crew before "reality" catches up and occupies the "set" for the next minute. In that episode they explain that sometimes they make mistakes and forget to put something in that is supposed to be there. This is why you sometimes look in a drawer for your watch and can't find it only to eventually find in in the same drawer a few minutes later. The workmen simply forgot to put the watch in there for the first minute you looked.
I would imagine nuts and screws get misplaced all the time by these work crews. Thats enough explanation for me.
