Finally bought a proper cable comb after years of just winging it

Dropped about $120 on a Klein Tools cable comb set last month, and it's already saved me a ton of time on a big data center job in Phoenix. Instead of fighting with 48 strands of fiber for an hour, I had them all neat and ready for termination in maybe 15 minutes. Anyone else have a tool they waited too long to buy?

Honestly, that "saved me a ton of time" feeling is exactly why I finally bought a good label maker last year.

My aunt still has a junk drawer that's been labeled "misc" since 1998 with a label maker. It's like we all hit this point where we just get tired of playing guessing games with our own stuff.

Same here, it's amazing how much less time I waste looking for things now. My old system was just scribbles on masking tape that fell off. Having clear labels on bins and cords actually sticks around.
