I thought it was just another gimmick when I got it. Turns out, this telescoping inspection camera was a game changer.
No more guessing what’s behind the wall or in cramped areas. It saves me time and hassle, and I can’t imagine working without it now.
Label maker. I thought it was the dumbest office gadget ever.
Got one when I started organizing my shop and office. Now everything’s labeled - cable boxes, file folders, storage bins, drawers.
Finding stuff is way faster. Tax season? I know exactly where every receipt folder is. Shop hardware bins are labeled so I’m not digging through random containers.
Best part is when other people need something. Used to be they’d ask me where everything was. Now they can find it themselves.
30 bucks but saves me an hour a week in searching time.
Impact driver. Used regular drills for years thinking it was just marketing BS. First time I tried one, drove 3-inch screws into studs like butter. Cut my fastening time in half. Now it’s my go-to over the drill every time. Worth every penny.
Socket organizer rails keep everything sorted and easy to find.
Magnetic wristbands seem silly at first. They hold screws well while working. Saves time searching for lost pieces.
Laser level is a must-have. I thought it was just overpriced junk since I had a good bubble level. But it makes hanging cabinets and tiling way easier. I can get a perfect line across the wall without constant measuring.
Cordless headlamp. Thought it was overkill since I had a regular flashlight.
Game changer once I tried it. Both hands free in dark spaces, battery lasts forever, way more comfortable than holding a light in my mouth.
Best parts:
20 bucks but saves tons of frustration every job.
