I feel your pain. Just lumps of metal, but tools are very personal. Haven't lost anything much myself, except thousands of rolls of PTFE tape. Fookers always roll away under floorboards, etc. Hidden in houses all over Bristol there a almost new rolls of PTFE.

I hate losing tools, if I break them then that's all well and good but losing them no. Just a little lapse in ones concentration and their gone forever. I'm still smarting over the circumstances of losing my yellow Stanley grips, over a year ago now.... after 8 ruddy years!!  I often wonder what the finders of our lost wonderful tools think? "Ah, it's my lucky day I always wanted a nice screwdriver set"! "I'll put those grips in my tool draw they might come in handy one day"? Do they ever get used again? Do they ever find their way into another's appreciative hands "That hammers superb I'll make good use of it. What a find"! |

noticed these tools not cheap like before shitfix makn a killing thanks fook for ebay and poundland As plumbers we all like good quality tools and often it's what you must have to do the job - a poor quality tool will slip and you'll struggle not get that tight nut undone. Then again a lost tool from poundland is of no great detriment to the loser or benefit to the finder. It's a tough decision just what tools to go for. |

I always bought good tools up till the days of other workmen stealing them, that never happened in the 1960's 70's as i can remember, but late 80's and beyond tools were going as you worked, often the unskilled groundworkers/labours/roofers, if you saw them and challenged them they say " I just want it for a second mate to undo a fence", but mostly they just go unseen, So then cheap was good enough to lose, you hav't got enough time to work and keep watch over your tools,

yea, when i metioned unskilled workers, i forgot about sparks, they don't have a toolbag/box, just a handbag with a screwdriver and a pair of pliers, they are worse than anyone, kick-in-the-balls
