Don't know how I ever managed to get by without glowing sockets in my toolbox.
Although I did chuckle over the warning (circled) on the package.

A Solution In Search of a Problem
Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

Re: A Solution In Search of a Problem
I certainly understand the need for the circled warning. I can recall the many instances when I looked for a tool and discovered it has fled.

Yeah, one night I had to run after a 10 mm socket that jumped out of my toolbox. It was dark outside and it got away. If I'd had this Astro brand, I probably would have caught it. Now I keep my sockets locked in a toolbox. They rarely get out.

Re: A Solution In Search of a Problem
It's actually clever profiting off an internet meme.
I can't tell you how many 10mm sockets I've purchased. And yes, stores really do sell 10mm multi-packs now. I've actually found two 10mm sockets on the side of the freeway when picking up stranded cars.
Though I have the same issue with 12mm ones as well.

Death is Nature's way of telling you to slow down.

It is obvious why this is a problem -- it is right there in the first four letters.
Re: A Solution In Search of a Problem
Sometimes when I wash my 10mm sockets they turn inside out.
Re: A Solution In Search of a Problem
I don't know how many times I've lost 10MM sockets, as well as 8MM and 13MM. I can work on almost anything metric with just those three sizes.
In order to see those glow under UV light, do you need the yellow glasses (sold separately)?

Re: A Solution In Search of a Problem
Since the sun emits all manner of radiation, including UVA and UVB, these things should be glowing any time you take them outside in the daylight.

For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.
