i actually had that happen to me about 1.5 months ago.

the appliance repair man came to my house to diagnose our BRAND new washing machine.

he had to go back to his last customer, for a tool he left there.

as a former wrencher myself, i know for a fact i left a tool or 2 under the hood, or on the frame (when cars HAD frames), and i had to say good-bye, once i recalled the last place i had it..

Snap-On man was rather happy to sell me another.

My last job before I retired was as a helicopter mechanic at an Army Aviation Depot. Individual toolbox inventories were done at the end of every shift, and even if the smallest, most insignificant tool was missing, no one went home. That meant all personal in that hanger went on a tool search until the missing tool was found. These hangers were pretty big, with easily 200-300 workers in a hanger. Now on overtime because somebody misplaced their tool that they had laid down somewhere. The bean counters were never happy about that!

when i wrenched, it was mostly just me....i had no real helper, except for the gas jockey...

was he any help as far as actual repairs..??

a resounding no.

so i'd be working on at least 2 cars inside the garage, and many times, one or two, parked just outside the doors.

so keeping track of one or two tools was not always easy.

in later years, i'd be in a shop with at least one other mechanic. so i wasn't rushed to meet pick-up times.

as i used to say back then, and as i do now..."SH!T happens"

We don't have dirt in Southern AZ. We have caliche, (spelling). A substance known to be as hard or harder than concrete... Good luck!

It's easiest dealt with using a pressure washer and hydro excavation...
