HERE! : http://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-26-Piece-SAE-and-Metric-Ball-Head-Hex-Key-Set-with-Torque-Handle-32207/100646801#.UVCg5hyG0mk

Put your damn tools back in their spot when you're done and you wan't have a problem! Flat end, ball end, Most metric/imperial sizes you'd ever need, a handle piece to make it easier to grip, and a damn case to put everything in.

/problem

as a maintenance man, I hate when people think that they need my tools more than I do. Considering, I do use what they are planning to steal, to earn my living/paycheck. I've got my toolbox organized and I don't have to search for my tools, until someone decides that my toolbox is a wonderful little free bee grab bag.

With some of the guys I work with, stealing tools/supplies is a good way to lose some teeth or lose your job ;)

Had a guy temp/contract guy steal about $1000 worth of spools of wire last summer, took off after he was busted by one of our full time employees. Dip-shit didn't think about the fact since he WORKED FOR US, we had his name, car, license, phone number, home address, bank account for direct deposit.....

Police caught up to him, got the wire back. He went to jail, and lost a job that offered:

Life Insurance

Health Insurance

Dental Insurance

Vision Insurance

AD&D Insurance

$2k/month guaranteed job for the next 6 months

Housing/food per diem (I think was about $700/month)

Opportunity for full time employment

all for $1,000 worth of wire.

KARMA BITCH! Stupid fucking hick.

Natural Selection of Capitalism. Let someone who deserves the job have it now.

I had a brand pack of 50 1/0, ready for my build. Can't find the fuckers anywhere, so I had to buy 50 more. Once I'm done wiring I bet they'll pop up.

How does a big baggie of terminals get lost? LOL
