Showerthought: I used to hate running wire through finished walls, but a $40 inspection camera from Harbor Freight cut my average time per room from 45 minutes to maybe 10.

I was fighting with fish tapes and magnets for years, but seeing the exact path and any obstacles on the little screen makes it feel like cheating now, so what's your favorite tool that made a frustrating job simple?

Always thought those cameras were a gimmick.

Right? They seemed so pointless for the longest time.

They're actually pretty useful now.
