We all do dumb stuff like that. Back in my drag racing days, I was running my Road Runner and decided to change spark plugs. I made the run, and returned to the pits. I had decided to change back to the plugs I ran before, but couldn't find the spark plug socket and ratchet. I opened the hood, and there was the socket/ratchet sitting on top of the battery where I had left it before the last run. Lucky it didn't move and short against a battery post.

There's a version of Murphy's Law that says, "A dropped tool will never hit the floor." My ex-Pontiac probably had $50 of sockets, small wrenches and small screwdrivers contained in the bodywork when it went to the junkyard. That included a ....... 10mm socket.

Buy three of them, then throw two out in the parking lot on the way to your car. At least you'll know where they are.

Yup. Lost quite a bit of tools this way working on my cars. 10mm is one of the most common tools.

She can't do anything. She's a pretty girl and a team of people built a successful YouTube channel around her. Remove her and no one would watch those videos.
