i always lose the bits you put on the drill chuck so you can use a 1/4" drive soclet...i dont lose them...my dad does...and any toold i lose..i know where to find them...i just go open the drawers on my dads toolbox and there they are!

 

1/2" combinatioon wrenches and utility knives. I must have at least a half dozen of each but can never find one when I need it.

 

I seem to lose track of any tool I'm working with currently, but I'd have to say I spend more time looking for my tape measure than anything else...

 

My beer coolie

 

I dropped a 7/32 1/4 in drive socket down the back of a car recently when chaning the ignition control module. I spent about 10 minutes changing the module and an hour looking for that stupid socket - still haven't found it. I'll probably find it when I change the intake manifold gasket. I agree with the other posters...Once I got a roll around box that was big enough for all of my tools, it was much easier to keep everything organized and in its place. Another great thing that I've started using is Hanson socket trays. Those things are the best! If there's a post that's open in the tray, either the socket is missing or you never had it to begin with!

Man--that's not a loss, that's a disaster!!

 

It's a disaster depending on WHICH beer coolie is lost....

 

As in the full one or the empty one?, I lost my ....

 

I always lose my phillips screwdrivers and 10mm sockets.

 

Ok
Side cuters , only have 1 left, have bought many.

I lost a 8 inch crecent wrench once, It had a 9/16 cut into the spot where the round hole is. I stll have the 6" with a 1/2 in the hole ( It was made by the Diamond Horse Shoe and Caulk company. (still miss that tool) I replaced it with a $50 snap-on.

 

I loose my tape measurer and pencils the most. Must have a half dozen tape measurers and keep pencils in my pockets and out in the shop but can't seem to be able to find one or the other without hunting.

 

i always lose a 1/2" and 9/16" open end wrenchs ill have 5 in the mornin and by bout noon ill be lookin every where for them

 

i lose stubby screwdrivers and tape measures the most. or any tool i need right now for that matter! but they always turn up withing 15 minutes of returning from the tool store!!

 

The tool I lose the most is my mind....wait...that can't be a tool....I don't think its there 90% of the time...lol...Probably the tool I need to finish up the job...no matter what it is, it is always the tool I need to put the last fastner on or something.

 

the one i use every day , my brain
