Lost tools

[Cecil S.]

I need to finish my 12'x20' climate controlled shed. all my reloading stuff is to the ceiling in a walk in closet and i am starting to forget what i have. Uugghhhh!

There's a reason I have 3 Sinclair outside neck turners.
The 3rd one happened when I couldn't find #'s 1 & 2 or remember who I loaned them out to.
I currently have 2. One that I loaned out finally found it's way back to me after being missing for several years.

I take the blue pill to remind me to take the red pill.

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

You can't have too many 10mm sockets/wrenches.

I take the blue pill to remind me to take the red pill.

If you take too big of a blue pill your won't care about the red pill.

Years ago I downsized from a 450 long bed service truck to a 150… company logic. Anyway I had a wad of specialty tools that came off the truck and went into my shop.

Fast forward 7-8 years; I’d retired and was going through my shop consolidating and liquidating. Son of a ____ I found those tools. Of course I’d already replaced them.

That is the reason a lot of service trucks have the back bumper dragging on the ground.

Lost... misplaced.... only to find them later where they should have been a minute later?

Here is your answer!

Most every day. Looked for a take off bbl...there it was, where it belonged...

3rd try.

have you looked in the gun you were working on?

Good idea, but it's not there either

Three or three and a half years ago I was doing a rebarrel job and using my Starret 1 to 2 inch mike and took a break- have not seen it since. I figured that if I bought a replacement it would show up but it didn't.

I can introduce myself, shake hands with you and forget your name all at the same time.

Welcome to my world...............

I can introduce myself, shake hands with you and forget your name all at the same time.

Takes me three times to get a new name right. That is because at my age I have to forget an old name entirely to remember a new one.

I used to have a list of stuff I couldn't find on the end of the bench, but it disappeared.

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

Those of you that don't wear glasses...Please don't laugh, it happens!

 

[DirtySteve]

Those of you that don't wear glasses...Please don't laugh, it happens!

Yeah, they often show up on top of my head..

Couldn't find my everyday depth mic. Looked all around where I might have set it or where I remembered using it and nothing. Got another out and used it for a week or so. Went back to finish a job that was sitting on the mill. Right there mixed with other tooling but under a post it note was the mic. I looked there several times but never looked under that note

I was at the Florida Flywheelers in Jan and the guy that has the best and biggest bunch of tools for sale, was asked by me for 2 or 3 Craftsman 10mm 3/8s drive sockets. His reply at first was laughter, finally he says "I don't have 3 of them in my own toolbox at home."

Been there and done it and Lord gives me another day on this earth I'll do it again!! sad

I'm looking for several .38 revolvers that are floating around the house somewhere? Haven't seen them in years.

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.

Years ago, while remodeling, I needed a basin wrench and opted for a high-quality one from Rigid, thinking it would be a one-time purchase. After using it, I carefully stored it in a spot I believed would be easy to find in the future. However, when the time came years later, I couldn’t locate it. Frustrated, I bought another identical wrench from the same brand. Determined not to lose it again, I placed it in a memorable spot—ironically, the same place as before. Now, I own two identical basin wrenches.
