For small items that you require a temporary place to put them down on, most auto makers have provided a very useful small tool storage shelf adjacent to the windscreen, most car owners use them to clean the screen when it rains. I find that hold pics, tabs, razor blades, small resin bottles, and even a Dremel in dire need.
As for the above debate on tool placement, my tools rarely leave the trunk of my Mustang, knowing what steps come next, and what tools are needed to perform them, allows me to work form my trunk without any lost time, between steps, during curing ect I transport the needed items and get ready for the next step. Personally I find it makes me look busy, and justifies the price customers are paying me. When working a dealer lot I start at one end of the lot and leapfrog tools and supplies from one car to the next, all using the tool shelf(wiper) provided.
I'm sorry but who gives a crap about your 400hp Mustang? This is a windshield repair forum...not a hot rod one. Wake up dude...nobody cares what you drive. I personally could care less if you drove a Bentley or a Honda Civic providing repairs. My best guess is that your only on here to showcase something. Please let us know what that is!

Ahhh, that's sweet. Is that us having a little conversation?
It IS - Well done you! - we'll get there one day, small steps...
@ Glasseye - I own a Rolls Canardly - it rolls down one hill and "canardly" get up the next! <<<Reminds me of what my dad used to say about his Morris Minor along with it's "cranking handle"!!
If the job doesn't mean more than the pay, it will never pay more.
