I heard it go "tink, tink, tink" down into the engine well, but it didn't hit the floor. Did it melt? Will it just randomly show back up in my toolbox later?

Any help would be appreciated.

Holy crap. Guess I left the door open. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) How have you been?

Depends, what were you working on, where did it go, and (most importantly) what size socket was it?

I find that 13mm sockets are prone to evaporation. When you lose them, they never come back. Heck, when you don't lose them you still lose them. They just vanish. Sublimation I believe. 10mm sockets seem to suffer the same fate, though they seem to take longer to vanish. It's a bit odd since they have less material, you'd think they should dissolve (evaporate, etc) at a higher rate, but that's not the case in the real world...I have no clue why.

1/2" sockets are virtually interchangeable with 13mm and yet they seem to vanish at a much lower rate than even the 10mm. I think the sublimation gods have issues with SAE measurements, not really sure...it's just a theory.

And don't even get me started on tools you return to the MAC dealer...who then quits. You have a better chance of finding your 13mm socket than ever seeing those tools again....ask me how I know?

Aren't you supposed to be coming back to Columbus for brew pubs and shooting ranges (not in that order) sometime soon? Preferably when it's not winter....or maybe in the coming spring.
