The most mysteriously lost tool?

[Dick Steinkamp]

I found this sort of funny, but also supports the fact that I'm not the only one in need of a spare 10mm socket (or 10)...

On sale now for $9.96 for all those out there that seem to often "misplace" their 10mm socket.

 

[Ohmess]

Not a bad idea. I only have six.

 

[Stevehose]

I have 3-5 depending on their current state of either being lost or found.

 

[Ohmess]

Oh, I'm counting the lost ones in my total. They always come back.

I could use the 13mm version. LOL

I think that with a 13 and a 10 we can just about dismantle our cars.

You’re right. you can never find a 10 or a 13 when you’re looking for it.

I THINK I HAVE A COUPLE OF HEYCO ORIGINALS.

My sockets disappear when I put them on the bench. I come back three minutes later and it's gone. I eventually find them on the end of the extension sitting in plain site.

Even these 10pcs are not giving full waranty all 10mm nuts/bolts can be reached but for those having few it is interesting option together with 13mm & 15mm ... &17... ;-)

I'm always looking for 12mm sockets or wrenches for unknown reasons. I have a favourite Bonney 13mm box end wrench I bought quite a while ago at a used tool shop in New Hampshire. . Stresses me out when it is gone missing (and that Might be for months)
Anyone else like Bonney tools?

 

[Koopman]

I have 12mm sockets and wrenches. Let me know if your interested.
Thanks

I put a "LoJack" on my 10mm socket.

I wish I had mice to clean my shop...

My ever patient spouse came in to tell me that the bulbs that she was planning to plant had all been eaten (about six bags) by mice, so mine aren't being nearly as helpful.

And I thought I was the only one losing these...

While we're on the subject, the Snap-On version of the 1/4" drive 10mm swivel was a great discovery. Short swivel pivot point such that it works in many tight spots where others "clunk" and resist turning 360 deg as you torque. Worth the money; find it used on Ebay.
