Losing tools is bad enough, when it gets nicked that's what really pees me off, yo answer your question Danny, not working anymore, so all my stuff remains locked up on my garage, with the hopw I might need it sometime, would hate it if I lost ant of it.

Would be annoyed if someone pinched my 40 year old Channelock side cutters but they are only tools and replaceable, not like someone cut yer arm or leg off.

Would be for me Westy, I'm so attached to mine, I think I may have some sort of tool fetish.

I know what you mean and your right but 2 bit slow missing out of a 10 piece set looks the same

I can't find two or three set of crimping pliers; I am down to the Silverline ones now!, I have only just found my pipe cutter for conduit after about six months, it was with the plumbing bits!
I am constantly mislaying items that are then found later, normally just as I am putting away the new replacement item and find the "missing" one is just where I am about to store the new one

Definitely a tool fetish, I think

I reckon there's some sort of tool leprechaun, that mischievously hides your kit, only to return once you've bought the replacement. I had my meter cupboard key on a long piece of wire, which when not being used was hung around my gear stick in my van. Its always lived there. Went to use it the other day, and it was gone!

Searched around for a few days, until finally given up and bought a new one. This time, the old ones not turned up yet, but I bet it will.

My sanity......

 

[HappyHippyDad]

I thought it was just me!

I lost my dust catcher that goes over the hole saw (dade). Literally just bought a new one and broke it by getting it caught on the blade of the hole saw!!

Determined to keep using it though as I do not want to buy a third one!

Lost my Stanley fat max 10m tape measure, £15 , know it's not the most expensive but something needed everyday.

 

[paul291277]

Lost my Stanley FatMax tape recently as well (£22), not sure I'm missing it though, it had a magnetic end to it that was more hindrance than help, it would stick to anything when I didn't want it to and wouldn't stick when I wanted it to. It once stuck to a heavy 1200x600mm luminaire I had leant against a wall. When I pulled it, said luminaire was dragged to the floor and ruined

I lost some knipex side cutters on a job. I returned a few months later to do the 2nd fix, cut the ground floor downlights out and put my hand up the hole to fish the cables out and found my cutters
