It was dangling there ready to fall behind the radiator. I'm thinking, great, now I'll have to pay a grand to have the front clam r&r to get the wrench out. After a half hour of fiddling i too got lucky.

I once almost forced a mission scrub because, in a last minute fix, I lost a 1/16 allen wrench somewhere between the airplane, flight deck, and maintenance control.
After furiously looking everywhere I was working, with my cheek against the floor, sighting along with a flashlight, I found it in a crack between the floorboard and rear cabin wall. I jumped up to grab it just as the maintenance officer poked his head through the main hatch.
Wasn't even one of the tools I used.
