Went from guessing tube lengths with a chalk line to a $4 stop collar and it saved me a whole shift
Spent my first two years on the tools measuring every water wall panel by hand, marking it with a chalk line, then hoping the cut was close enough. Last Tuesday I was on a small package boiler in Council Bluffs and finally tried a simple stop collar on the tape, the kind that clips on and locks at whatever number you set. Same panel layout took me 40 minutes instead of most of a shift, and the cuts landed dead on the first try. No fancy laser gear, just a $4 piece of plastic, and it beat my old method flat. Curious what small cheap thing changed the game for you guys.

Tape measure with the numbers written on both sides. Sounds dumb but I stopped flipping it around and guessing. Small stuff adds up on a long day.
