Totally with you on this @kim.xena. I grabbed a secondhand manometer off eBay years ago and it catches leaks way better than any fancy box I've ever borrowed. Last month I found a pinhole in a static line just by watching the needle settle, no display needed. People get sold on "professional" gear but forget the basics are where the real troubleshooting happens.

My second time out with a cheap detector, I dug up a rusted lawnmower blade and a beer can.

My husband has been doing the coupon binder thing for years and I can tell you he saves us about $200 a month on average, but he also spends four hours every Sunday clipping and organizing.

Oh man, I feel your PAIN on this one. I spent a whole evening trying to get an AI to make a plain glass of water and it kept turning it into some weird glowing potion. It's SO frustrating when the simplest things take forever and you end up typing weird technical terms just to get a basic shape right.

Six hours on one USB port is wild.
