The most lost tool

Post by Brenhden »

Hi All,

We've all lost a 10mm socket in our time I'm sure but currently my whole socket set is AWOL and I've searched high and low. This got me thinking what tools have we all experienced wandering off for time and then showing up again?

For me its a this old set of carpenters pinchers I got from my Grandfathers toolset about 20 years ago. in those 20 years they've been missing for at least half the time. it's like I only own them on a timeshare.

Everything disappears from my workbench. Just today I couldn't find any of the three scissors, or four knives, I have at my workbench. One of my soldering irons also has apparently wandered off to parts unknown. My Phillips 2 screwdriver bits also like to go on adventurers. One of my lighters has disappeared, but I know one of my smoker coworkers has borrowed it.

I genuinely found a 10mm socket walking across the car park where I work. :shock: :shock:

It was very confusing, like a parallel universe or sommat :? :oops: :P
