Finally bit the bullet on a proper thermal imager for the truck

Dropped about $700 on a Flir One Pro last year after a buddy kept pushing it. Used it last week on a call for a flickering light complaint, found a hot neutral in a junction box behind drywall in under two minutes. Customer was amazed we didn't have to start cutting holes. What other tools have you guys bought that seemed like a luxury but ended up being a total game changer on routine jobs?

It pays for itself on every saved drywall repair!

That's a killer use case for it. I'm curious if you've found it pays for itself on residential calls, or if it's mostly for commercial work where the problems are bigger.

Honestly the drywall thing is no joke. I mean, one bad leak and you're fixing way more than pipes.
