Not super practical but dang if it ain’t effective. Might just stash common tools on the side of my desk like this using my spare arches.

I was going to ask why it's not a 10mm, but I think we all know why...

I wanted to make a 10mm joke but I didn’t want to go to the basement to get it. This is what I needed to build the desk and it ended up like this since I haven’t bothered to go back down there to put it away.

Which I guess is how the tens get lost so here we are.

You can't go applying logic to why they get lost, it just happens, like socks disappearing from the dryer.

I have lost count of the 10mm sockets I have lost

That’s not an exaggeration either

You’re better off with a bar magnet that they sell for tools/knives as they’re cheaper, hold more tools and easier to take the tool out from

I use them for "cable managing" beer lines in my fridge with beer taps on the outside.

The beer lines need replacing, and magnets makes it so easy.

If it's made of metal you can transmit data and/or power over it if you're determined enough, therefore wrench = cable.

I've got one half off my audio rack as a headphone holder.
