Full disclosure: I was inspired by today’s email from Blipshift.

It’s always the F#$%ing 10mm!

I honestly think I have to buy a new 10mm every time I work on something, they just disappear every time!

This is my 10MM socket. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My 10MM socket is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my 10MM socket is useless. Without my 10MM socket, I am useless. I must wrench my 10MM socket true. I must wrench better than my vehicle who is trying to break. I must wrench on it before it breaks on me.

I know at least one 10mm socket is in my engine bay, somewhere.

I was ‘organizing’ my new tool chest and I found not one, not two, not [etc] but ELEVEN 10mm sockets.

If this is a thing:

There should also be a set of 10 mm sockets.

Never have a problem with my 10mm.

I always lose my 13mm. (and then lose my 1/2in socket soon after).

There it is!

In that case

It’s even slightly fuzzy which makes it perfect for FB

Yeah, nice idea, but you’re still going to lose it while it’s off the necklace. What you really need is one of these with the 10mm socket welded into one of the chucks.

He’s limbo’d out of retirement and straight into my heart.

I figured it’s like one of those starter bead necklaces that only comes with one bead.

You have to buy all the other beads 10mm sockets yourself to complete it, right?

lol

Hear me out on this, you have a recess in the socket casting and a free spinning ring or bearing in that recess. Attach the necklace or lanyard to that. The 10mm remains attached but you dont have the cord rotate with it.

Oddly enough I haven’t lost sockets very often but I’ve gone through a few 10mm wrenches, and I can never keep a #3 Phillips head screwdriver, they seem to evaporate right out of the tool box. One day I brought home a Schonstedt metal locator from work to find a missing wrench where I’d dropped in the the dirt by where the cars are parked. I found, like, a dozen tools buried from 1/4 to 1" deep.

Nice. We have those where I work, very effective.
