Not that long for me, but probably one with the most mileage. When I worked on VWs in our college town back in ‘69-‘72 I did some work on a car that involved removing the engine. There is a special magnetic wrench tool that you use on the hard-to-reach starter bolt. When I put the engine back in I forgot to remove the tool. The guy went to California for a work-study job right after, and I know for sure of a later w-s job in Chicago. He came back for regular service many times over the years, but I never had a reason to access that area (no starter or engine r&r). The year he graduated he came in for another job that required engine r&r. There was my tool, a little rusty but still there after four years on the road.
I have two of them now, one is stuck on my Speedster and the other is waiting for me to need it to take out the engine in my ‘65 VW.
