Anyway...

Wouldn't you know it, I went to grab my 14mm socket out of the tool chest the other day and it was missing!!! I blamed the wife, rang the son and even scoured the gravel driveway like I was on CSI looking for clues.

'Upset' that it was missing, I had to put together a chair on the front veranda this morning so I took the 'spare' set of sockets out of the garage so I wouldn't lose any more of my 'good set'.

I'm sure some of you have already guessed, when I opened up the spare set of sockets there was the 14mm socket, I had never replaced it in the tool chest in the first place.

No, I won't be apologising to the wife or son - they'll never know.
Can you check your tool box to see if you have any of my 13mm ring spanners I keep loosing.
