Nah @terry_lewis21 I gotta push back on that... I bought a $40 toaster five years ago and it still works perfect. My buddy spent $180 on some fancy one with all the bells and whistles and it crapped out in two years. The truth is you're paying for looks and brand name half the time, not actual build quality. Stuff like microwaves and blenders are pretty simple inside, the cheap ones last just as long if you don't drop them or whatever. Sometimes paying more just means you're buying into hype, not durability.

Yo that's a solid point but I think people sleep on the other side of it too. Torque seal isn't just for catching loose bolts, it's also a dead giveaway if someone else has been messing with your work without telling you. I've had ground crews "check" a panel and reapply the seal sloppy as hell and you can spot it right away. Saves you from trusting a fastener that some kid with a 3/8 ratchet cranked on.

Aw man, @thomas.tyler, I gotta push back a little here... I'm one of those guys who still uses spit sometimes and honestly it works fine for me if you do it right. Like yeah, if somebody's hocking loogies for three minutes that's just nasty and wasteful, but a quick smear of fresh spit on the glass before a dive and a quick dip in the water? That's always kept my mask clear for a full tank. I've tried those spray bottles too and they left weird streaks on my lens that made everything blurry halfway through the dive. Different strokes for different folks I guess, but I'll take my free method over buying something that might not work any better.

My Harbor Freight drill has lasted five years.

Ever tried to save a buck and end up losing your whole morning?
