I'm no good at a lot of things, but I don't lose tools in the shop. Ever. I don't lose stuff in the engine compartment, either.
I leave a trail of tools on the jobsite, and I lose stuff off my work-truck so often that I started buying Stanley 6-in-1 screwdrivers by the case 10 years ago. I carry a complete second set of hand tools, because I semi-regularly leave the entire tool bag sitting on top of a unit or in a shopping cart downstairs and drive 60 mi to the next job.
I got 4 10-24 nylock wing nuts and 4 number 10 nylon washers and took the rubber-backed washers off too. I'm not dorking around with this anymore.
