Do they congregate somewhere? Because if they do, I would like to know that place! - All I can find right now is either a really small one (like for watches) or a stubby...and of course the stubby can only reach the one of two screws.

Anybody else have this trouble or is it just my curse?
It's a conspiracy by the "Flathead Tribe."

Now that you mention it, I have bought more 13mm sockets than any other size. Short or deep well - 1/4" or 3/8" or 1/2" drive....doesn't matter; they all dissappear.

Just Phillips heads?

I have three kids. ALL of my tools disappear routinely. I find some of them in the yard . . . with the lawn mower. Ouch!

Everytime I reach for a tool that is not there, I'm reminded of my dad and his frustration for the same reason. I guess it has something to do with karma.
