What is that thing?
10mm socket, commonly known by mechanics to be the single most lost tool on the planet. Most cars use them a lot, but they’re always nowhere to be found
I’ve been wondering why I’ve been having issues with missing 10mm’s lately.
Clarification: it is actually The Ten MM Socket.
(In Middle Earth they do not exactly have machine shops, so they were only able to make one of them.)
No idea but it must make OP chuckle
It is a zip tie, frequently used to attach two things although in most cases it is pulled tightly and this is a rare case of it being used as a simple loop.
A meme for that weird cross section of LOTR and auto mechanics. Beautiful.
How would losing the ring save middle earth? Sauron would have won if the ring wasn’t destroyed.
Am I missing something about the zip tie shown here? Those things are pretty easy to cut open, easily defeating this lock or w/e.
It’s not about locking it.
Mechanics will always misplace a 10mm socket head so the joke is attach the ring to the socket and now the ring will never be found.
Oh I guess I misread the other comments, I assumed they were talking about a wrench or something to use on the socket rather than the socket thing itself
I recently bought a 12 pack of 10mm socket heads. I can’t find it…
I dont do tools, or work on cars or anything, but I literally just bought a $20 rachet set with like 50+ pieces, and the one time I use it on my car to remove the battery, I lose the 10mm… I didn’t realize this was so common. I must have spent like an hour in the parking lot looking for it and felt a fool for losing it. This isn’t so much humorous as it is vindication! I am not a fool! Or atleast, we all are.
I think the image of the 10mm is supposed to go behind the ring. Otherwise the zip tie creates an impossible perspective, I think.
A single sock would work as well.
Gollum chewed off the zip tie.
