Spent 45 min tearing through my shed looking for my J hook tool. I have too much chain on my MB 450’s so I figured I’d spend some time taking off the excess
Then finally realized that the top of this little toolbox opened up and there it be
Feel free to have a laugh at my expense.

As long as you had the Labatts Blue going down, tragedy averted.

The Labatt is probably the reason for the tragedy

I have a pair of wire cutters that are currently MIA

I am sure they will eventually show up

The trick is to never put them away. If you leave them in a pile on the bench you don't have to go through tool boxes and drawers looking for stuff.

Enough Labarrs and you won't care where the tools are.

Over the years I have learned, the lost item will always be found in the last place I look for it...............Which is also the same place I was going to put the newly purchased replacement for the lost item!! G.

Pelts, long time no talk, hope all is good with you.
AND I agree with the Labatts comment ...good strong stuff....when compared to the light stuff.

At least its you puting things away and not finding them. I do that a lot myself I suspect we all do. Put thing in a safe place and cant find them. Im still looking for my caliper box that had the tool and $1800 cash in it going on 8 years now. Lost during the move. But I also have teen boys that get things out and leave them out where they were working. Here is my fence post driver that got left out and grass grew up around it. It was found by the zero turn. Just one example.

You always find something in the last spot you look.

I have 3 hand staplers. Every time I needed one and couldn't find it, rather than spend time looking for one, it seemed easier to just go out and buy a new one. crazy


Got a photo from a speeding camera in the mail. I immediately sent it back - way too expensive and really poor quality.

It gets better with age.

Eventually you forget what you were looking for, so you don't know you lost it.

Right now I’m trying to get the tips out of the stake drivers. I PB blast them and got one loose and cleaned up good. The other is being stubborn.
Fun in the trap shed lol

I made my wife to promise to shoot me if I get to that point. Scared me how quickly she said, "OK". frown
