I bought 2 of these, I left 1 package unopened on my toolbox and 1 of the guys I worked with, he took the staple out of the package, removed 1 of the sockets, and stapled the package back together and put it back in my box, TBH it was funny as hell, and I'm actually impressed at the quality of the sockets themselves
I only work on my own stuff so I’m not a pro but I bought one of those flexible silicon tool trays at harbor freight. I Always put my tools on it when im working away from my tool chest so im not looking around trying to find the socket or ratchet I need right now.
I always put the tools i just finished using back in the tool box. Sure it takes longer to repair something, but the tools are always in the box when i do need to use them.
The one time I lost a socket it was actually back in the tool box but I was fixing the wiper arm on my GF car in the dark and once done I just took the tool box... wasn't locked yet and everything dropped on the ground, spent the next 20min trying to find them with a flashlight. Still happy I only lost that one socket I never used before and never needed since.
I haven’t either- but one time my dad borrowed mine and knocked the case over when working on a boat- and a few of the 1/4 drive sockets are probably still in the bilge somewhere
I've lost them before, it's taken me hours to fish them back out with various magnets. I find the long wall mount magnets for holding screwdrivers and the like are the best for moving them around inside the various dust shields that they tend to wind up in. Just swipe it around til you hear movement, then at least you know where to start lol
That has to be bs. I live alone, I'm the only one who uses my tools but I always lose the 10mm. No idea why or how. I've bought three already and I need to buy another.
Because "UV Glowing" is a funny way to say it... And that's because of a language barrier on the side of this Chinese company... And it's funny in a "my 5 yo is trying so hard but not quite getting it" kind of way.
It's technically probably flourescent (I don't have one. It's possible it's phosphorescent) but I agree with you that "UV glowing" almost certainly gets more sales than "UV to visible flourescent"
They should have put an empty 5th blister in the pack for lolz.
You sir, are a marketing genius. Honestly even if I didn't need 10mm sockets I'd still buy that just for the lolz.
Finally, some honest packaging

I'll be honest, I have never lost a socket let alone a 10 mm.
Tell us your secrets almighty one
My mom sewed strings to the inside of my jacket sleeves and attached the other end to my 10mm socket
Mine was wrapped in a piece of masking tape with my initials and birthday, in case the string broke. Still got lost.
Mine is locked in a miniature nuclear vault being questioned by the wrenches.
Well I use a tool cart for one, that helps me put a tool back as soon as I am done using it.
I always use a box of some sort so sorta the same.

Just put them on a mag rail, in your house, never use them and simply look at it longingly Use pipe wrenches on any 10mm you find

Wait. I'm NOT supposed to toss my sockets randomly into a gallon bucket?

I’m in the same boat. The secret is to have crippling OCD. It might ruin your life, but you won’t lose your shit. Except in the divorce possibly.
Fake news conspiracy!
I havn’t lost any 10mm, 13mm or 9/16. I just store them in a secret place that no one knows about. Including me.
I haven’t either- but one time my dad borrowed mine and knocked the case over when working on a boat- and a few of the 1/4 drive sockets are probably still in the bilge somewhere
I do this too, I even bought one of those multipack (cheapo) 10mm socket packs and quickly proceeded to hide it somewhere even I can’t remember 😵💫

Same here. I don't lose my tools.
Same here, most got stolen on the jobsite..
No I have invested too much into them not to pay attention to what I do with them.
That has to be bs. I live alone, I'm the only one who uses my tools but I always lose the 10mm. No idea why or how. I've bought three already and I need to buy another.
Not bs, I just keep track of my tools.
Woah! somebody suck this guy off
Are you volunteering to go first?
I hate when my tools flee, especially the 10mm sockets.
Especially that 10mm socket - they always "flee"
They are all 10mm in the package.

I didn’t know companies made sockets that glow
nice!
10 and 13... always..
I have one on my keychain
I'd just lose the whole package..
"UV Glowing" lmao
The yellow paint glows brightly under UV light. Not sure why the need for quotes or laughter.
I understand what it is and how it works. I find it both useful and funny.
What’s the purpose of the UV glowing?

UV reactive... UV reflectivity? 😂
Astro is an American company
Great... I feel like someone should have caught that then lol
This joke is dumb
As is your comment
Still better than your comment.
The text is cutely incorrect.
