    If the last place you look is when you find it why keep looking? However, it is likely when looking for that tool you find many other "long lost items" as well.

    There's been the odd things as well, not only tools, that I've never found! ๐Ÿค” ๐Ÿ˜Š

    Have you ever noticed that when you're looking for something, and you search all of the obvious places without success...and then when you finally find it, lo and behold.... it's in the very last place you looked? ๐Ÿ˜ 

    Well....it occurred to me that I should remember to look in the very last place first of all......and I might be more successful ๐Ÿค”.

    Regrettably, I discovered that doesn't work either โ˜น๏ธ.

    That works for me, too. I look high and low for a tool I know I have, eventually give in and buy a replacement. As soon as I have got it, I put it away, invariably next to the tool it was replacing!

    One way of finding a tool (for me) is to buy a new one then store it somewhere and that will be where the old one will be.

    Hi Chris.
    The DeWalt kit you've bought looks really versatile, and only about a tenner more than I paid for mine ๐Ÿ˜€.
    I think I would have chosen that model when I was looking for such a thing.
    Rob.

    Doh! Just had another look and found the chisels at the back of a drawer. Serves me right for having a tidy up a few months ago!

    Came across the screwdriver set I mentioned which will work with the chuck. Could be useful as it has a ratchet but it is quite long and a lot of play due to the various parts. Another option anyway.

    Tell me about it Ed. I was looking for my miniature set of Veritas chisels recently that I've had on the end of the work area for ages and can I find them? And yesterday I was looking for my bag of off-cuts of lightweight cloth - had to open a new pack just for a small piece. ๐Ÿ˜

    Lew you can never have too many tools, the only problems are where to store them all and finding them when you need them ๐Ÿคฃ

    I must have at least 100 bits with these 1/4" hex shaft tools. Sockets, star, square, Allen hex, screw driver, and more in various sizes. Probably a dozen handles and powered drives and extensions. Definitely an overkill, but does anyone have too many tools?
