So, what tools have we lost lately ?

[dbabicky]

I have that same problem of setting a tool down for a minute then not being able to find it right away, and after about 15 minutes of looking for it and cussing, I find it right under my nose. If somethiing ever truly comes up missing for a long period of time, I can generally find it in my Nephews Grand Cherokee who has been working on his POS in my shed. Sometimes it makes you feel like you want to strangle the little ****!

Lost my box knife and a 10" crescent wrench at work and found them a few days later. The box knife was in the compressor room right where I left it and the wrench was at a welding station where I switch out a welder.
At home I have so meany 10 mm sockets grow legs and hide from me and a
screw driver hide in my back pocket some about hour.
Seem like tools are always doing that to me and turn up right where I lad them down. damn tools

3/8 drive deep 13mm chrome socket was donated to a truck i was working on 2 weeks ago...not a total loss as the socket was pretty well worn..now i have the excuse to buy another set !!

My Wixey angle finder. Last time I saw it was on the side of my toolbox. Searched high & low. Figured it had to have fallen off and is stuck to something somewhere.

[robmack]

10mm Snap-on combination wrench. Used it in the basement to disassemble part of the motorcycle gearbox. I know it never left the basement but do you think I could find it again after 5 weeks of searching. Gave up and bought another one.

10mm deep socket. Of course the one tool I needed this past weekend.

Mine don't get lost, so much as permantly borrowed. I'm always willing to help someone out, but then I forget who "borrowed" it. I've spent hours trying to figure out who borrowed my manual tile cutter, but no luck so far. I did get my wet saw back from the neighbor three houses down, so since I'm tiling right now, everything gets cut with the wet saw. I wish I had my manual tile cutter back, but at over $100.00, I'll wait until it resurfaces.

[fflintstone]

Milwaukee corded jig saw

I am pissed I cant find it and I need it for a project.

 

[nuklbstr83]

last Monday i "lost" my snap-on multimeter (eedm504d, which is a rebranded test-products international model 183A) . i know that one of my classmates (only 20 of us) has it but there's no way to prove it.

i'm pretty bummed. but this gives me an excuse to invest in a fluke.

 

[DoyleDee]

6" 3/8 drive extension and a 3/8-1/4 drive adapter. ... it fell while working on a car and I looked all over and around and could not find it- no big loss so I gave up.

 

[63spyder]

My kid had a wrench fly off off whatever he was working on in my shop,we looked for hours for that wrench. I finally bought a new one,five years later when I was I moving the metal lathe to a new position there it was. Who new a wrench could fly that far.LOL

 

[JTSmithson]

Proto 3/8" ratchet...I'm sad

 

[hchinaski]

Man, I'm glad none of us are surgeons.


I hope none of us are surgeons.

"Looks like you sold him a scalpel!"

 

[Jeff May]

I don't loose tools in general...
They tend to migrate to my sons garage... LOL
I usually try to grab most of them when I stop by there to help him.

18" aluminium Rigid pipe wrench. Given to me by my brother in law. Walked away while volunteering at a church project.

 

[ActAppalled]

I do a lot of torch cutting and burning at work and I swear I lose a few strikers a week. It's bad. My company supplies them so I just get a half dozen about once a month to replace the ones I leave laying around. Aside from that I've been pretty good about holding on to tools. Although I did have a full drill bit index grow legs once. Those are supplied by my job too so as long as I lose the things they pay for it's fine with me.

 

[OldGarageChris]

I've lost my hammer 4 times (after wasting 20+mins looking for it) during my garage reno. Each time I've bought a new one. I seem to find them and then lose them all again in the same day. Hammer count is at 5 and yet I still cant find any.
