    New hires are usually sent to get the “board stretcher”. The wild goose chase will take them everywhere in the shop and sometimes as far as the owners, who politely send them back around to some section they’d already been.

      Imperial, adjustable, left handed wrench. Or left handed any common hand tool (hammer, spanner, screwdriver…). Muffler bearing. Light bulb for the crank case. Blinker fluid. The list goes on.

      And, within reason, I think those are pretty decent pranks. No one gets hurt, many get a good laugh out of it, including the one looking for a two headed hammer if executed properly.
