One of my friends had a grand opening for his mechanic shop. I played a prank on him.

Found a site that sells 10mm sockets for about $1 a piece.

Ordered 50 of them.

Got some hot glue sticks and some magnets.

Glued the magnets to the back side of them and hid them all over his shop.

All of them organized after gluing on the magnets. He’s going to be finding them all over the place for some time.

Well worth the effort ! nice !

What's the significance of them all being 10mm? Asking for a friend.

7 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Running joke about never being able to find a 10mm when you need it.

You should number them 1-50 for extra effect.

7 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

No no... 6 to 60 and skip 1-5 and a 5 random ones along the line.

I saw the first picture and thought this was going to be "I bought X 10mm sockets and now they're all gone"

No sure what I was expecting to be honest. This was a weird prank.

Can you play a prank on me? Can't have too many 10s

7 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

It didn't occur to you that magnets do grab onto those sockets quite nicely without glue?

Was his reaction similar to this?

"Yeah we had to shut the shop, a 10mm got caught in the hydraulic lift -I don't even know how, and it dropped this beamer..."

It's wasted money my friend. Everyone knows if you place a 10mm socket anywhere and don't look at it, it just disappears into the void...

I love harmless practical jokes. Good job @OP

Yup, until OP gets home and needs a 10mm socket..

Not even harmless, it's a useful prank

Not really he did glue the 10mm socket shut on tje backside so he needs to use something to heat up the glue to remove it

7 years ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 1

At least I didn’t super glue them.

Hot glue peels off smooth surfaces pretty easily, a pair of pliers will tear that off quick and easy

The most important question here.

7 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 1

They probobly super cheap quality too and could bend and eventually strip bolts

7 years ago | Likes 20 Dislikes 0

Quick question, how would the socket strip the bolt? If the bolt were good wouldn’t the poor quality socket be damaged?

What's the goal of the magnets? Just making them easier to stick in wacky places?

7 years ago | Likes 11 Dislikes 0

Yeah I don't get it

7 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 0

Stick them to tool boxes, light switches, the air compressor, ac vents, any screw in the wall

7 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 0

You said you ordered 50 of them, yet in your last picture there was only 25. Hmmm

7 years ago | Likes 13 Dislikes 1

Thank you! I thought I missed a step in there where he glued 2 together or something.

7 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

His friend will find 2. And then lose them AND the one in his tool box.

7 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

They are already lost.

I mean, if you can get the magnet and glue off. But i suppose a torch would make quick work of that.

7 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Right? I would be so happy to find 10mm sockets just hidden around

7 years ago | Likes 81 Dislikes 0

You can't use them because of the glue though.

7 years ago | Likes 17 Dislikes 1

its hot glue. a peel of the finger and its probably already clean. if it isnt the minor addition of a little knife work and your good

7 years ago | Likes 14 Dislikes 0

or anything to scrape it a lil really. a stick or some broken plastic or basically anything will do the trick with hot glue

7 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

Alternatively I bet you could blow torch it out pretty easily.

7 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

also a good idea. never actually thought of that

7 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

It's gorilla glue. That shit ain't coming off easy.

from my lazy 2 am googling i found it was a vinyl based thermoplastic glue. which leads me to believe its probably a variety of >

2> Ethylene-vinyl acetate which is actually the cheap stuff. and considering its $10 for a pack of 45 4" sticks its nothing special
