Don't you hate it when you loose a bit of kit argggggh

[Toneyz]

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.

I'm not lost Pete !!!!!.

Crikey Ant you're a fine one to talk.

Standards are falling Pete.

A bit prone to losing things, are you Phil?

Misplacing mate, I always get them back, but only after getting new stuff lol

 

[Phil Thompson]

It's reasons like this I have 2x pairs of knipex snips and pliers and 3 or 4 screwlux drivers lol

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

That's an awful excuse for buying new tools, but a good one must remember that when "she who must be obeyed" starts harping on about " not more tools Pete" but it's an occupational hazard when you have this addiction, I keep telling her it's disease, but she wont have it.

I had an apprentice many years back, he came to me on site one morning and said, "If you know where something is but you cant put your hand on it have you lost it?"......."Well, no I guess not" I replied.
"That's good then" he came back "cos your pliers are at the bottom of the cavity, but I haven't lost them".
He ended up a delivery driver.

[Phil Thompson]

Cant beat an old coat hanger. Or even just a bit of bull wire does the job.

That's sad, very sad. We all become attached to such things.

Nearly as annoying is people with grubby hands thinking they can borrow my tools.

Guys today is a good day!

I picked up my new toys and I've just been sorting my gear out and found the missing handle and bit in my MFT bag under the divider

 

[SparkyChick]

Not lost tools related, but tools none the less

Just picked up my first 110v transformer and angle grinder... even treated myself to a 110v extension lead, can't wait to try them out on a renovation project I'm starting tomorrow

Lost tool related though, I did nearly put my Knipex installation pliers at the bottom of an 8ft cavity... thankfully a Wagobox acted as stunt double for the fall and alerted me to the presence of said cavity... all tools perched on the edge were quickly retrieved
