I spent two hours looking for a step drill bit one day. I finally found it... in the drill. I was so mad I spent the next two hours putting every tool back in its rightfull place. Two days later, I was back hunting for stuff again.
Speaking from personal experience, your pliers are on the opposite side of any subassemblies you are standing near. There is a physical force (writer Terry Pratchett would probably say it's "Quantum") that positions them in this manner and maintains this equilibrium no matter how many pairs of pliers you introduce into your shop...

It's quite simple, actually. A cleco plier's wave equation will collapse, upon observation, to the location most inconvenient to the observer.
You could call the thought experiment "Schrodinger's Pliers".
I had a similar problem once...spent a half hour looking for my needle nose pliers. They were in my back pocket.

I have 3 cans.... so.... 3 sets of pliers now.
Now where did I put those clecos...
