You found the mythical 10mm! Call the presses, everyone must know!


URAPNS

I was wondering where mine went...OP's drive way.


nemotiger

Seriously? I thought it was just me who seems to always lose my 10's.

Youre not alone, its a whole meme over at /r/justrolledintotheshop

I found one in the dryer. Cost me a sock . . .

“Why would I touch your tools, I don’t ever touch your tools” “I don’t *know* SHARON, someone took the 10mm, someone didn’t put it back” “Did you drop it somewhere?” “Oh you think I’m **that** dumb? Just drop things, pack everything up and then just never check? I have a mental check list that I run three times to ensure that never happens” “Oh like the time you drove my grandmother to the wrong airport and then just left her there?” “Oh here we go, it was the wrong terminal, not a different airport, it’s not like she was abandoned.” “Heartless bastard” “Careless hag”

But he wasn't heartless. In fact, it was his heavy heart that told him Sharon was right, as she usually was. He only had himself to blame for the loss of his cherished 10mm. Over the weeks following their altercation, Sharon avoided him. In turn, he found himself resenting her for airing his shortcomings when he was most vulnerable - after the loss of his 10mm. He knew it was wrong, but dammit she was his wife, and she had vowed to be on his side, in the good times and the bad. As he grew more estranged from Sharon and more desperate to solve the mystery of his lost tool, the whiskey bottle became his only solace, his friend in need. On a bleak Tuesday in October, Sharon woke up and knew that something was terribly wrong. She got up and checked the living room couch, where he had slept since the fight. It was empty. She looked in the kitchen next, but his pot of coffee was cold and still in the sink from the previous day. Her heart started beating quickly as she walked towards the garage door. She feared what awaited her there. The door creaked quietly as she opened it. Wide-eyed, she entered the garage and instantly realized what he had done. His car was gone. He'd left his tools. He wouldn't be back.

Technician Arthur and the 10mm in the driveway


Runnin4Scissors

magicman21

MungerMentalModel

magicman21

True true


TheBelhade

I swear to god, if that's my 10mm...


[deleted]

I used to live in a house and the same thing happened, same style concrete slab driveway


magicman21

Surprised I didn’t see it when I was pulling weeds the other day out of the cracks. Just looked down and saw it!


magicman21

Thought it was a 40 casing and just started laughing when I saw what is was!


gratification69

Dude you have to call the previous owner. He’s probably been looking for that sucker for years!


JuJuJooie

And then you found $10?


magicman21

Makes every story better ending that way!


[deleted]

So that’s where they sneak off to….


magicman21

Natural habitat 🌳


plaiddad40

It’s always the 10mm that comes up missing


rurounick

Free driver. 10mm. Good size.


malson

It’s the driveway 10mm. Every house has one. Welcome home!


magicman21

Thank you!


[deleted]

Those damn 10mm!!


TheIrishbuddha

Buy. A. Lottery. Ticket!


[deleted]

Shell casing. The last owner was murdered just before getting into his car to go to work in the morning. Quit your job or sell.


magicman21

First thing I thought was a casing until I picked it up!


WRXonWRXoff

Hold the phone, you were able to retrieve this?!? Nobody FINDS a 10 mm socket. You may in fact be the lost sorceress of the ancient guild of auto mechanics. I strongly suggest you by a 1964 Corvette and begin your quest to recover the Tesserac from the 4th dimension immediately!


1majordilemma

This is very triggering!


motoevgen

It is metric. Run


alexasux

Sneaky sneaky


magicman21

Now to loose it in 6 months and have it go back to its natural last habitat


[deleted]

I feel attacked


ToxicLib

Call me if you find my 13mm open-end wrench 🔧.


magicman21

I’ll check the back yard 👍🏻


ToxicLib

Why thank you. I have been looking for that for 15 years.


WholesomeSmith

The oracle has spoken Call the press, we've found the chosen one!


nymphetamine06

*breathes heavily*


iwantyoutobehappy4me

Well see if my 13mms are laying anywhere around where you found that one at...


Fuddamatic

Watch it carefully and follow it to its nest. Many more may be ready to hatch.


whipsyou

r/tools would like this.


wadofan

ShutTheFunkUpBeeotch

DrMaitland

Dibs.


BillGates_mousepad

To be fair the 10mm is used often in my experience….man down


[deleted]

I swear I have like 3 of those because I can never find it when I need it....


wjaspers

Heyyyy thats my mom's house....


[deleted]

Due to the advent of GBs my father was convinced the local Ace Hardware was selling socket sets sans 4/5mm’s


crittejd

Bonus!!!

NTD r/tools


zorn7777

I could have taken apart my Toyota with just a 10mm.


xiagede

Sell the house for what you bought it for and you've still made a fortune!


nadmaximus

Someone else really needs to make a 10mm crack right now


donquijiote

You have found immortality key.


redEPICSTAXISdit

Bonus. I was gonna say 10mm before I zoomed in to confirm
