Man I am glad I finally broke down and got bifocals. I can now find those pesky dog springs when they disappear at warp speed. I just ordered a bunch from Mystic to help with the frequency of how many I loose in a given rebuild. It doesn't help that my apartment has a dark blue carpet with some black in it. drop one of those or a small rifle spring and you may as well drop it in the ocean. More than a few times I have broken out a super bright flashlight and crawled around on the floor looking for some sort of a reflection. Anyone got a better way of finding them when they "pop Ninja smoke bombs," and disappear?
If there is a better way than hands and knees with a bright flashlight, I'd like to know it, too!
Magnet broom ? ;D
Metal detector is the only way.

Magnet works for me. Dominick
A dab of grease on the spring slows it down.
The "floor" under my reel work bench is a layer of gravel over the bare earth. When I get out the flashlight, reading glasses and knee pads I always find a missing part. Unfortunately, it is seldom the most recent missing part but something that was lost months ago.

Yeah, but only to warp speed. ;D Dominick

Glad I am not the only one!
