I keep a few basic tools in the house, just for convenience. The rest are in the garage.
So where can my hammer be? I remember the last time I used it, or think I do, so where can it be?
At the moment it's added to a list including.....
One metre, bright yellow spirit level An antique small spirit level, wood and brass, that was my dad's Pin Hammer Yankee screwdriver Fine tooth tenon saw Two wire brushes Two spark plug wrenches Surform Two Punches Coping Saw Padded sandpaper block Rawl Hammer Pointed trowel Hand drill Steel ruler Assorted screw drivers Monkey Wrench
And Lord knows what else!
Please help me find it by suggesting where it might be....
No brendan, just a high quality hammer by "Stanley" (he was a nice guy) bought with other tools many long moons ago.
Incidentally, add to the list...
A Bradawl and a Gimlet!!

''A Bradawl and a Gimlet'' - the words are sheer poetry.
Woodworking has a complete language of its own.
Spokeshave and paring chisel, smoothing plane and spoon gouge - simply fantastic!
And wait for it................bevelled edge firmer chisel. - Yeeha
Don't you just ache to be a skilled woodworker?

You still have your Yankee, I thought I was the only one !!!!
When re-furbishing apartments in Chelsea years ago, we sent out the 'trainee' for sandwiches and a skirting board ladder, the clever sod found a pet shop and got a ladder for a budgie cage, and paid for it with my change!!!

I assume you have a board on the wall with the outline of said tools where each one should hang. If so, watching a couple of episodes of CSI should solve the problem.

Look high up? I've a habit of putting tools on the top of shelves, frames, window ledges, you name it, then leaving them there. Done any high up DIY recently? Is it rusting away on your roof?

Gemma had a 13" Sabatier Chef's knife (bought by me) disappear without trace!
Later at a different property, and much more worrying, was the loss of her sister's platinum wedding ring, and my wife's gold and diamond eternity ring. Her sister still doesn't know it is gone!

"Later at a different property, and much more worrying, was the loss of her sister's platinum wedding ring, and my wife's gold and diamond eternity ring." Ouch.
Don't make the mistake I made, my ex wife asked me if I'd "Sore her ring" as she was bent over looking into her dresser. I completely misheard, or at least that's what I told the Divorce lawyers .
