Good job, but you always have them when you’re finished, more impressive is if you can find the one you were just using when you need it again even though you haven’t moved from the spot were you were working!

I am pretty sure my tools can teleport on their own. When working in one area, suddenly the tool I was using is on the other end of the workbench, or some other crazy place that I would never put it down. Maybe someday I will get to see it happen as it happens.

Are the ones in the box these that went missing, replaced, and then found?

How many times have you looked all around for a socket or wrench, only to find that you are sitting on it! 🤬

Nothing like an organized toolbox!

OK, mine is semi organized…

Here’s a little project I’ve been working on while I fill all the gaps in the foam ….

Impacts painted and Orange caps on 10mm and 17mm .
Now I can easily find whatever size I need first time by simply counting up or down from 10 or 17 .
Much better than my old routine of pulling a socket , squinting to see what size is on it , then replacing it to grab another
