Unjammed a film advance with a simple tweezer move
Had an old SLR with the film advance totally stuck. Tried all my usual lubes, nothing worked. Then I saw a tiny spring was out of place and gave it a nudge with tweezers. It clicked right open. What's your best hack for mechanical jams like this?

That tweezer trick sounds like a good way to snap a spring for good. Forcing parts usually just shifts the internal bind to a worse spot. Real fixes need the right tools to fully disassemble and clean the old grease out, not just poke at it.
