Reminds me how often the right tool and method just clicks into place.

Yeah I saw those cracked posts on the old forum. I just use a clicker wrench and go a little under spec, like 5 ft-lbs less. Never had one come loose or break.

Saw a video where a guy used fishing line instead of string. Said it doesn't sag as much in the heat. Might be worth a shot before buying new tools.

Track your hours, it's the only way to be fair to yourself. Guessing just means you'll end up working for free half the time. Doubling your rate for new stuff is smart, but you still gotta know how long it actually took.

Wait, you just whisked hot butter straight in?
