Missing Mole Wrench

This is what my Mole Wrench looks like when I can find it.

One of the reasons I had such fun trying to repair the toilet last week was that I had lost my precious Mole Wrench and wasn’t able to use it to hold things still. My Uncle George used to say that the fastest way to find a missing golf ball was to get out a replacement. On that basis I’ve just bought another one. Surprisingly inexpensive. If you not got one of these they are jolly useful. You can even use them as a mini-workbench where they can hold things so that you can work on them.

The Wikipedia site for Mole Wrench has this amazing link to Popular Science from 1935. A fantastic read.

When ever I replace a tool that I can't find I almost always find the missing tool right away. Of course the next time I need one there are likely to be two I can't find. In the case of measuring tapes I went out and bought a while bunch of them so I would always be able to find one. It usually works. It has been suggested that if I put things away where they belonged I would not have this problem but I'm not sure that would work.

Everyone needs at least one Mole wrench - I got a nice set of 3 different sizes from B&Q
