Lost tools

[Texas Solo]

Ever lose a piece of equipment that you know is in the house somewhere?

First it was a modified Hornady case in 6DASHER.

I have a new bolt coming today. So this morning I look for my go-gauge. I want to be sure my headspace doesn't change with the new bolt.

Well the damn go gauge is missing worse than a 10mm socket. I have separate Tupperware containers for each caliper. They hold things like comparator bushings, neck bushings, etc that are caliber specific. But my go gauge for 6 Dasher isn't in the 6mm container.

Last I used it was installing my current barrel. So it has to be in the gun room somewhere.

Nearing 30 years turning wrenches, I've planted plenty. They never grow...

I’m missing a Sinclair small primer pocket uniform. Even bought another one so missing one would turn up! No luck

And I thought that I was the only one who experienced this phenomena.

I'm not that well organized, I keep all of my go/go gauges in one drawer, comparator tools in another drawer, (by function I guess) so I get to rumage threw the entire drawer to find the right size/caliber I might be looking for.

Eventually you'll find it in the last place you looked

One things for sure, go buy another replacement then you will find the lost one. On the bright side you now have two to misplace.

Every day it’s the same once Shoes, phone, glasses

When I lose my glasses, I usually discover I'm wearing them.

Still missing 2 pairs of jack stands, I put them somewhere they would be easy to get to when I needed them, not buried under everything. I just wish I knew where that magical place was.

Everytime I loose something I walk around and whistle for it, just like you would for a dog. Sure enough things turn up. Funny how it works though.

Literally just happened to me! Looking for the case-neck turning head for my old Lyman trimmer...moved it out of the way while looking for it twice. Decided I would probably better not do any reloading today if that's the best I can do!

I KNOW where my 10mm socket is! It's in the fender well of a 2015 Tundra.

I am seriously considering video cameras in my shop. I cant tell you how many times I set something down and then spend 1/2 hour looking for it even though I just had it in my hand. Very frustrating. Lets review the tape...LOL

WOW!! Glad I'm not the only one this happens to.

A great friend passed recently. This morning I was helping his daughter sort and catalog the equipment and all of the accessories/odds and ends in his loading room. I took the lid off a plastic Maxwell House coffee jug to see what was inside. After about 10 minutes of me searching high and low she asked what I was looking for. I said that I’d just taken that lid off and now I can’t find it. She glanced over and said,”It’s under the coffee jug!!”
