You have to careful with cameo clothing! People take it off, hang it in the closet and never find it again.

OK... I admit it... I only purchase Harbor Freight tools because they are ORANGE and I can find them

I like to buy brightly colored tools also. I like Stihl (Orange) and Dewalt (Yellow). I can drop something whether it's a small tool or piece of hardware, watch it descend all the way into the grass almost in slow-motion, and *poof* it just disappears! Perhaps if they emitted a homing signal things would be better.

As far as tractors go: Red, Orange, Blue, Green. . ."Can't we all just get along." (To quote Rodney King).

Could you just imagine a Camoflauge tractor? I would buy it, get it home, and then never find it again!!

I had to paint my screnches orange because I couldn't find it after it fell out of my side pocket one day, I don't want it find it in a tire if I lost another.

I have painted my splitting wedges and chains safety yellow so they are not left in the woods. I purchased my son a Gerber pocket knife for christmas that came with a red aluminum exterior. Hopefully this will help him keep it a little longer. I haven't seen glow in the dark paint anywhere but that would be great.

Orange may be fine at times but then comes paint season and it blends right in!

I posted this just because I think it is funny to see people being so strongly loyal to one brand or another. I personally have no loyalty to any one brand. I purchase the brand that has the product that meets my criteria at the time.
I agree with you. I have owned Kubota, Kioti and now John Deere. All have been fine machines and have done everything I asked of them. Don't know how I missed NH blue.

I now paint all my nails day-glo orange so I can find them if I drop one. If I don't they are very hard to find in the grass.
