I thought the $300 for a good thermal camera was a waste until I found a cracked resistor on a nav board that was stone cold to the touch.

What other tools have you guys bought that seemed pricey but ended up being a total game changer for finding weird faults?

Oh man, my logic analyzer was like that too, and @masongreen, it finds those sneaky timing faults!

Wait, you have a logic analyzer just sitting around? That's wild. I can barely afford a decent multimeter.

Sounds like a very specific problem.
