    Has anyone stopped to consider that we may have the causality backwards here?

    We know that frodo becomes invisible when wearing the ring, perhaps the reason we can never find the 10mm is that this was already done?

    How would losing the ring save middle earth? Sauron would have won if the ring wasn’t destroyed.

      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

        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.)

      It’s the One Ring crafted in secret by Sauron, a corrupted Maiar. The One Ring to rule them all, the One Ring to find them; the One Ring to bring them all, and in the darkness, bind them.
