Ray's onto something there. Those wands are perfect for reaching under the stove or fridge without crawling around, I use mine to fish out lost screws and coins from tight spots all the time. Might grab a couple more next time I'm in the store just to keep one in the car.

Damn, I was all in on my air fryer till that demo. Now I'm side-eyeing it.

Same thing happened to me with a $150 pan, bought a $15 one at a discount store and it cooks better and doesn't warp. Expensive stuff is just marketing sometimes, lol.

Moved back to a basic string line and a cheap torpedo level for anything under twenty feet. That laser was fine for framing, but it just wasn't stable enough for patio work where a little drift means a big problem. I found that checking the string with a level every few courses catches any settling before it turns into a redo. Saved me a ton of time and my back, and the string setup packs down small in the truck. Bad tools cost more than they save, that's for sure.

Wow, I heard those vintage Sunbeams are built like tanks and totally worth rescuing!
