i dropped my o-ring set a while back too. only mine was on top of a car battery. in the car. needless to say i didn't get all mine back. i didnt actually knock it over. an employ did it for me while i was doing "his" job. i say i dropped it cause if i hadn't had it there it wouldn't have happened. oh well..........

just saying..... 'cause youknow you're gonna do it again !

Damn straight I'm going to do it again. Not because I plan to, just because Murphy's Ohio cousin lives in my garage and crawling after all those O-rings was the worst "dropped and lost part" episode I ever had. Murphy's cousin surely knows that and you know what that means!

I have visited the site you recommended and I believe it has some merit. Next time (and there WILL be a next time), I'll compare the "hang 'em" and Imperial Supplies catalog methods and report on the pros and cons of each.
