I assume OP just slapped it with a mallet and or stuck a screwdriver in there.
At least OP wasn't me. I dropped a torch down the back of an engine earlier in the pouring rain, said engine had undetrays and the torch was magnetic. Wasn't fun. That job isn't finished either, try prizing out a driveshaft without the proper tools or ground clearance...
Oh, for sure. But I don't have a Sears or a Lowes anywhere near me. Honestly, I just Hobo Freight all the stuff I break or lose often because it's cheap enough that I can have spare adapters and 10mm around for when I don't have time to go to the store 1 mile from my place.

He doesn’t say what he did. If it were me? I would have held it with vise grips (so I didn’t smack my hand) flat on the little anvil found on most vises. Smack the side of it several times with a mechanics hammer . You would probably have to reposition it a couple times in the vise grips between it squirming and rotating it. It would spit that square drive out. Been there done that.

I assume you chucked it at the floor, like everyone else.
He poured a bunch of baby oil on it and smashed, like diddy

Blursed
I got chucked at the floor? Well, all I got was this Tshirt.
Go on, tell us what you did!

Oh my god, the fucking bread trick, probably would work on a socket if you were goated enough
Feeler gauge on the ball side?
That's what she said
Feeler? I hardly know’er!
I didn't doubt you, I just didn't care.
Yeah, I would have just got a new one. Probably screwed with it when I was bored, or left it in my tool box. 🤷
Give it to the kids. They'll get it out or it'll never be seen again... either way it's handled.
Spoken like a true parent
I’m just glad you wasted a good part of the day getting it out rather than fixing whatever you were supposed to fix.
I felt this comment in my heart. Shame on you.
I’m a professional procrastinator, I would’ve done the same thing.
Bro was speaking from experience! Lol
I sat here after going through all this just thinking “what now?”
I guess I have to get back to what I was working on now; that’s no fun
Are we all not wasting some time either reading or writing reddit posts ? That's life.
Like he had anything to actually fix. With sockets like that he probably had his whole day set aside to rotate his lawnmower tires.
Mans gotta mow
Pff. My lawnmower's tires rotate ALL ON THEIR OWN.
That will remain true until they sieze because you used grease in an oil bath hub.

It's sad I know the context. Too much online.
I need to know how you got it out. We all need to know.

I started with this being a 🔥torch. Amazed you didn’t burn down the vehicle….
Less fun with a flashlight but makes a whole lot more sense
Thanks, I was confused about what was dropped too. Was wondering why the fuck it was magnetic.
I mean...I was picturing a propane torch with a steel 1lb bottle screwed onto it which would be magnetic.
Flashlight would make more sense though not burning to the ground
took me way too long to realize that you live in a country that calls flashlights torches
at least i hope so...
Bonus points if you update us again next time you use it and it’s broken.
I was secretly rooting for you. Nice job.
Good for you. My lazy ass would have spent the $5 a Hobo Freight for a new set.
I would have asked them to warranty it personally.

Looks like you bought a new one. 😉
He’s an adult. He threw it on the groooooound.
He's not part of your system
You can’t buy him hot dog mannnnn
If it was sucked out don't tell us that
The cylinder remained undamaged!
Who the hell said you would get a new one? Took you what, 2 minutes tops to get it cleared?
According to the original post, 17 hours.
Chucked it across the room after hours of frustration and just so happened to free the driver
I think I see "hit the ground" marks on the edge under the M where there were none before, lol
You’re a witch! What magic is this? witch, Witch, …WITCH!
Fuck. I scrolled through all the comments hoping you would respond to someone how you did it. I have no life 🤦♂️
It's quite underwhelming. I smashed it on the ground.

Mad lad
I doubted you but didn't post lol How'd you get it out?
This is why I use Reddit, wooohooooo! Great shit
I see you borrowed your neighbour’s to get the work done
What size Jesus walkers you wear? Looks like a 15 at least.
What did you do?!
You fuckin champ
Cookie time!
Took a week to get it out?
He doesn’t say what he did. If it were me? I would have held it with vise grips (so I didn’t smack my hand) flat on the little anvil found on most vises.

Only took you an entire day. Time is money friend
Its ok, I took sick leave for this
True
how can you not own a drill?
I broke it
I like OP
You seriously gonna not tell us how you solved this?
Did you break it and get warranty? Throw it and found it? Said you had an adapter but couldn’t prove until now?
lfg!
But, how?
Is your thumb broken
We're all so proud of you.
He didn't get it out. Just bought a new one and posted a Pic to drive everyone crazy as they try to figure out how he got it out.
Yeah, cuz we all know exactly what you're talking about 🙄
Magnet
How and how long?
Awesome
Good for you!!!!
That’s pretty good you must have a hard floor
I wouldn't have wasted my time with it and just went and bought a new one.
if you broke it, bolt was locktited/rusted or it's either bad quality or you need a bigger size pretty much
did you throw it on the ground?
Haha nice!
Still should buy another one. And some extra 10mm sockets while you're at it.
Well done!
Cool, I guess. Now reattach the broken piece back on then I’ll be impressed.
Why
Left hand drill bit?
You got a new one. Good job
Thats a tool used by people that dont have the right ones.
You have big fingers but a small index finger
Looks like you proved the naysayers wrong, nice work on sticking with it instead of caving for a new ride.
This is fucking weird because I literally JUST lived this this scenario. I just drilled a hole, sunk a drywall screw in it and yoinked it out.
I’ll repeat my comment from the last post
Happy birthday to the ground!
How'd you get it out?
Who the fuck made your fingers that way
How'd you get it out?
