Sets of screwdrivers, wrenches, pliers, sockets, ratchets, etc. were all complete for years. The moment my son started using tools, was the moment my problem locating tools started. Now nearly all of my sets are missing something, and I tend to find random tools in the most unexpected places. I used to get upset, but now I just shake my head. And yes, Now I have numerous tape measures, multiple sets of screwdrivers, etc. Are any of them complete? It changes daily.
huh! DAD! I did not know that you checked this forum... thought that lock on your toolbox woulda helped sort that out :-)
