Now thats prety impressive. Earlier this year I lost an extension and 2 allen sockets. I was doing some last minute work on my track bike while its on the trailer, I left the tools there then drove to the track we looked around the side streets the following day but they were nowhere to be found

Ah I work as a service tech and am rushing around all day and just fucking forget shit! No excuses. Some hand tools are from "borrowers" though.

I wish I had a nickle for every oil stain I've cleaned up on my garage floor I'd be able to redo the thing
