Narrative:
During my shift on may/sat/00, I was completing a sheet metal repair on a tee-chord at the left wing root at the forward frame of overwing slide door. Immediately following repair completion, wing to fuselage fairings were to be installed and overwing slide closed by several fellow technicians to facilitate aircraft to be pushed out of the hangar to perform engine runs. The following shift on may/sun/00, upon inventory of my tool box I noted that I am missing my snap-on offset box wrench 3/8 inch by 7/16 inches which I did have out on the night before and used in completion of the tee-chord repair. I reported this to my team leader who informed me that he would have a meter sent to abc to inspect left main gear well for wrench.
