Showerthought: I always thought the 10mm socket joke was just a meme

I read a survey in a trade magazine that said 72% of mechanics list it as their most commonly lost tool. Anyone else actually track how many you go through in a year?

My shop buys them in bulk packs of twenty.

Bulk packs of twenty is the only way to go! It's funny how some things just vanish into thin air, like pens or that one sock. The 10mm is in that same category for sure.

Oh man, I used to buy them one at a time! Seeing them disappear so fast totally changed my mind. Gotta get that bulk pack now.
