I have the same issue but with flat screwdrivers and hammers specifically.

I own about 20 flat screwdrivers and like 6 hammers, I can never find a single one of them when I need it.

Well the same reason you assholes end up with all the extra flat heads, you but a kit with 2-4 of both when you only need 1 Philips.

Perhaps Canadians lose flat heads like we lose Philips. Maybe we need to form a US-CAN international free exchange zone. Someone think of the screws!

Gremlins are usually womenfolk or children. Keep womenfolk and children out of your tool chest!

I had two gremlins that were into the disappearance of my tape measures, hammers and screw drivers.

Then a $5 toolbox from ACE eliminated one gremlin as to where they were being stored.

Then a $10 set of cheap screw drivers, $2 tape measure and a tack hammer eliminated the second gremlin problem.

Now my daughter is pissed off that extra handyman work that she is not asking for is being done by a 5 yr old gremlin. But my tools are safe! :biggrin:

There's a joke in here about women on your tool.

and it appears to be stealing all of my philips head screwdrivers. Whenever I go to look for one I can find 700 flat head screwdrivers but no philips. Time to buy another lot of them I guess...

Would this help?

Or would the philips bits keep disappearing?
