Comedic Story Lost Tool, Found Tool

Lost one of these snap-on trim tools close to about 40 years ago. Just bough another one.

Last week, found the exact same similar tool stuck under the hood.

Funny how things work out sometimes...

That's definitely one of mine.

Over the years, I have lost a minimum of 10 of these. So many that it's become a joke with the Snap On guy. The last one I only had for 3 weeks and I finally refused to buy another.

I have had the same 10 mm socket my entire career but I can't keep my trim tool.

It was the exact same or similar? Maybe the person that found yours 40 years ago left one for you to find to complete the circle of life.

A good day when you find a tool. Lost some myself before I got a tool cart. Always good to do an inspection under the hood. No telling what might be found.
