Ever read about quantum time glitches?

Man, that's so true. It's like the world runs on cheap tools doing jobs they weren't meant for. I've seen a mechanic use a $20 borescope from Amazon to find a lost socket in an engine block. Or a buddy who fixed a weird electrical short in his car with a $5 circuit tester from the auto parts store. Sometimes the fancy gear just gets in the way, and the simple, cheap thing shows you the problem right away.

Exactly! A cheap fix that fails just costs more to redo later. Your rep is worth way more than saving a few bucks up front.

Four years in Phoenix heat? That thing didn't konk out, it retired. It saw another summer coming and just laid down its little motor. Mine quit after a similar desert bake, and fixing it cost almost as much as a new one. I buried mine in the toolbox as a warning to the other tools.

My uncle's garage still has a plastic blob from a melted model car.
