Doing an oil change on the GF’s Expedition. Crawl under, drain the oil, replace the drain plug, and I’m getting reading to get my oversized body contorted to where I can make my usual futile initial attempt to get the filter off without a wrench, and my hand bumps against the flashlight that I left stuck to the crossmember last time I changed the filter. The little magnet on the end managed to hold on for 5000 miles of driving on Washington and Multnomah County roads… pretty impressed.

Just changed the battery and she fired right up.

That’s a true testament to the magnet right there. And you were not being a bonehead you were just being a good product tester.
