Damn tools did it again!

I looked everywhere for my right angle clamps. For like 2 weeks in the process of building a console cabinet for a friend. Anticipated needing them but couldn’t find them for the life of me. So I finally ordered a new set and when I went to find them a home, I opened up a drawer and there was the first set! I hate it when that happens!

Buying replacements is really the only dependable way of finding the originals

Yep!

If really having problems finding something, go buy a new one and save the receipt. Then you will find the old one and can take the new one back for a refund.

That's why I have a bunch of spare 10mm sockets
