where's my drill?

[disco_monkey79]

It can only be in the garage or the house, but I'm d@mned if I can find it. Anyone else have tools that move themselves around?

I wouldn't be so cross if the thing wasn't bright orange...

 

[RogerP]

Just buy another and your missing one will magically appear.

 

[kostello]

Brightly coloured tools were great when they first arrived.............

Buy now everything is fluorescent you can't find anything.

I spent all day looking for a 7 foot yellow spirit level....

Found it 2 weeks later.

I couldn't find my Makita plunge saw rails last week. It turns out someone nicked them when my shed was broken into before Christmas but I didn't realise it as I used to keep them under the stairs and only put them in the shed the day before. It's £192.80 to replace the whole lot from Axminster

Make sure your security is good otherwise the tools might disappear completely

I have tools that I put down and within seconds the tool troll has been into my workshop and moved it to somewhere out of my reach.

[Tom K]

Its somewhere safe that you will know where to find it of course.

 

[UTMonkey]

With me its pencils, mischievous little pippers!

I'm working on a theory that the dreaded sock eater that lurks in washing machines has siblings that live in other parts of our living areas.

I suspect it has a relative living in your workshop, along with the one that lives somewhere in my CD/DVD collection, and the one that eats money I stick in my wallet for safekeeping.

 

[ColeyS1]

Left work early Saturday to go home and find keys for my bike rack. Searched everywhere with no success. Stuck in traffic the other day and looked down at car keys jingling away in the ignition.................... oh, that's where I put them :lol:

Always use to be my six inch steel rule that use to vanish. last time I counted I had 3- just incase like :???:

I think I've got one living in my tool boxes eating pry bars

I've got a big one that nicks my tools & puts them somewhere safe................................... it's called the wife, only she can never remember where that safe place is!!!

+1 for that. or I've helped you tidy up by stacking everything you were working with into that box so you can carry it out into the shed. Except I can't lift the box and I have to spend a couple of hours sorting out all the drills, screws and tools to finish the job I was working on.

Still I can't complain realy, she does put up with all my projects and is a dab hand with the Danish oil.

 

[Kalimna]

Pencils. They always seem to run away at the slightest provocation. Oh, and I found my marking gauge today. Behind the bench. Under quite a lot of shavings. Perhaps I should tidy up more often.......

Tape measures, pencils, small rulers often go missing and I have plenty of each.

It winds me up with tape measure though as I have one that I calibrate all the machines with so use it on projects aswell. When that goes missing I don't like using another just encase its a mm different.

Drills always going missing and I often find im sitting on the thing im looking for.

My lunch went missing the other day.

Then again my workshop was a morg in the old days.....

i glad i am not the only one who has little gremlin hiding stuff.

Don't forget the wire tangling gremlin. You lay all your wires neatly down back of tv, He comes along and ties them all together and tangles them up

 

[Gary Morris]

They don't disappear or move! heres my theory.
Someone or something camouflages them.
I sometimes remember where I put something, that had previously been camouflaged; and sometimes it's usually where I thought it was, leading me to believe it was camouflaged.

[Phil Pascoe]

I cleared my bench off one day and found forty one pencils, seven stanley knives and four squares.
