inThe cheap chalk reel I mocked is now my favorite tool
Three months later" is the part that gets me. Most of those cheap tools either break by week two or you realize the convenience ain't worth the weird button placement. I've had a few "joke" buys that turned out okay, but they always end up with some fatal flaw. Like my friend bought a cheap laser level that worked great until the battery door popped off on a jobsite. You dropped it off a ladder and it's still going, that's genuinely surprising. But I'd keep using the manual one as backup, because three months ain't a lifetime. That deck frame might've been 30 feet, but wait till you gotta snap a line in the rain or the chalk gets damp. Then we'll see if that plastic case holds up.

Can't believe they got all six stations running off one pump, that's wild.

inBarista at my local shop corrected my pour over and it clicked
see i had the opposite experience with mine. went from 16 to 18 clicks and got way more body and less astringency. the whole "finer = bitter" thing is so much more about your water temp and ratio than people give it credit for. not saying the barista was wrong, maybe your grinder is just calibrated different than mine. but i've had pros tell me stuff that sounded super confident and then it just made my cup worse at home. you gotta trust your own tongue over any click count.
