Flexible tool mat, good idea?

[Sam_Julier]

I have a really nice Easco multi tip torx screwdriver and an 11mm SO combination wrench left for me in the engine compartment.

I use them all the time.

Twice.

Twice, some mechanic has left his tools for me to find them under the hood.

With that kind of attention to detail, is it any wonder that I do nearly all my own maintenance?

That's not good!! And can you imagine if it was done on an aircraft!! I bet your "pre trips" are critical. My father in law did a lot of his own maintenance on his Beechcraft Bonanza so I learned the importance of not leaving anything behind in the engine compartment.
