Wireless sensors had me real skeptical back in 2019

Did you run into any issues with the PowerG sensors in stucco or metal frame construction? That's the one thing that still makes me hesitate on wireless for certain jobs, especially in those old Phoenix buildings where everything is concrete and rebar. Curious if your buddy had to boost the signal at all on that Camelback job.

Last book club I had to pick between two endings for the discussion

Three different endings across two copies is wild honestly

I finally stopped using hardwood ply for drawer boxes and switched to baltic birch

Noticed the SAME thing with my old toolbox drawers. It's like we always think the cheaper option is fine until we actually see what happens when something gets used for real.

Bought a $200 cable toner that lied to me every time

@anthony763 could probably chase a ghost tone faster than that Fluke after a few coffees. Had a cheap toner from Harbor Freight once that insisted a dead cable was live, ended up cutting into a live line and smoking my whole tester.

Had a real bad week with a fleet of 2020 Freightliner Cascadias

Oh man, I feel you on this one! My old F-150 has been running on the cheap stuff for like three years now and the pump's still going strong. I think it really does come down to which brand you grab sometimes. I've had a few bottles from the gas station that made my truck act up a bit, but the stuff from the farm supply store has been golden. So I get it - not all budget options are junk, you just gotta find the right ones.
