Old enough to lose shit in my own home, and young enough to know I have done it, worse is when I lose shit , forget I ever owned it, and buy it again only to find the original when I go to hide the new one, and then a month later lose them both, forget I had them, go buy a new one...........This is how I ended up with three original Leatherman multi tools, and now the only one I can find is the one attached to my belt, so long as I don't set it down someplace and forget it.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

The way that I misplace them? I'll stick with the $5 auto parts store lights.

The one light I have never managed to misplace is the one bolted to the ceiling.

Maglite makes the best flashlights, in my thinking. I've already 8 maglite flashlights in my home.

Welcome to the board, I have been using maglights for many years, they take a beating ( and can give one :) ) from the big 8 D cell models to the smallest single AAA keychain one, I have had them all.

This one I picked up locally at Ollies on sale for $.99. Actually, I got two at that price. It also has a "cat/mice" laser and magnetic base. By the way I got 100 batteries for them for $2.00 from China.(included shipping)

Go to the fishing aisle at your local sporting goods store and get yourself one of those replacement lites for bobbers. They come in a 2 pack for under 5 bucks. Close the bolt and drop it in. So small they even work on .22s.

One of my favorite ways to inspect a bore. Some of those lights get too bright.
