10mm socket, commonly known by mechanics to be the single most lost tool on the planet. Most cars use them a lot, but they're always nowhere to be found

Clarification: it is actually The Ten MM Socket.

(In Middle Earth they do not exactly have machine shops, so they were only able to make one of them.)

I've been wondering why I've been having issues with missing 10mm's lately.

It's the One Ring crafted in secret by Sauron, a corrupted Maiar. The One Ring to rule them all, the One Ring to find them; the One Ring to bring them all, and in the darkness, bind them.

Oh, so the picture is showing that One Ring! Makes sense now.

10mm socket

famously know by all mechanics to dissapear

mostly its just a common size, and since its used often, its odds of dissapeaing are high

Thanks, in german it is "nuss" therefore nut :)

If i hear socket i think of lights like E14 and E27 socket

[–] simplejack@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Yeah, in english the nut is the threaded fastener.

It took Sauron 3000 years and he still never found the ring

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

It is a zip tie, frequently used to attach two things although in most cases it is pulled tightly and this is a rare case of it being used as a simple loop.

No idea but it must make OP chuckle
