Default Why is it you never have the correct tool to hand.

Anybody else had this problem:-

Start: Ok.. you start a job, carry all expected tools to job site.
Find that you have forgotten one return to start repeat for an hour to find that you don't have a particular tool.. trip to local halfords.. find siezed nut.. out of WD40/ plus gas as you used the whole tin trying to get the siezed brake pad pins out last week. Return to halfords.. light fading fast.. read manual a bit further ah new gasket seal required spend two hours returning tools. Try again next week.

I know the feeling. Ive now decided that me and tools dont mix. I either end up threading the bolts or stripping their heads off. I think most people would agree that it has something to do with the cheese Suzuki use for their bolts, but I think my ham fistedness has something to do with it too
