I actually got lucky, one time.
The socket rolled up against the back tire before it got clear out into the street.
The house I now live in has a very mild slope, first one I’ve ever had.- hopefully this doesn’t happen to me.
Yeah, right.
I sure hope there is a jack stand under that vehicle.
Doesn’t look like it – I certainly didn’t see any evidence of one.
WAIT!!!! That video is FAKE NEWS!!! That is NOT a 10mm SOCKET!!!
No, mine come off the ratchet and fall into that netherworld that exists in every vehicle, never to be seen again…
Deep into the frame, eh?
In the bottom of the storm drain at the curb….
If the socket is dropped from waist level, it will roll to the exact geographical center underneath the car.
Dropped a 1/4 in x 1/4 drive socket in the cockpit of a C-46 I was working on. It’s the DC-3’s bigger, fatter, uglier brother. That SOB rolled all the way to the tail then dropped under the floorboards. Took me 3 hours to find it.
Can’t be a 10mm, as no God-Fearing American would ever use metric sizes.
‘Would never use…” But, we have too, the damn car companies and tech companies are all damn communists at heart and make it nigh impossible to repair any thing because they use the communist ghey and faggot measuring system, fuckers!
Something tells me you have a mad on against Metric. Just sayin’.
Doesn’t matter to me, I had Chemistry, Physics and Engineering and used BOTH almost interchangeably, figured out conversion waypoints in my head to convert quickly (but not ACCURATELY) from one to the other.
(What does one cubic milliliter of water weigh, and how big is it?) (What does one cubic inch of water weigh and how big is IT?)
No fair peeking.
Lived at a place that had a reasonable slope to the driveway. I’d put a 2×4 downslope of where I was working in order to catch things doing just that.
Yeah, you lose round/rolling things enough times and it becomes habit to put the backstop in there. No worries.
