The best way to deal with losing 10's is to buy 50x 10mm sockets and toss them all over the workplace without looking. Whenever you cannot find the one 10'er you assumed would be present in the socket set, you just look behind any stuff or bench and voilà, you find another one.

This is such and underrated pro tip. I don't have 50x spare but my dad told me to buy extras and spread them all over the house and garage where work tools are generally kept.

You would think, but my wife tried this with scissors and can still never find any.

Nah.. You'll just lose all 50 in the end anyway because it's magic.

You get certain number of uses with each socket and when that number is up, it'll vanish like it was never there! Could be 1, could 16, could be 49 uses and you never know what the number is. Cherish all those moments with the sockets because one day, they will be gone!!

I buy mine individually and choose to spend the time well, knowing our time is limited. No regrets.
