You might as well be reminding me "right tighty lefty loosy"... You've never made a mistake when following the golden rule? The only tool i've lost in 2 years is a single bit for my screw driver.

Not saying I've never gotten into a job and not had the right tool. But I have always had the obvious ones I knew I would need ready and available.

How do you start changing oil without an catch pan?

I hate it when i have to quote myself.

I Keep it in one spot that its never moved from.that way. I always have it when i need it, I didnt start without one, i started not knowing my dad used it the week prior and had left it in the utility sink in the basement after disposing of his old oil.

The only tool I've lost in the last 30 years was a craftsman 9/16 wrench I was stupid enough to let someone borrow

any auto dealership or oil change place will take it. I think they are required to actually.
