Man I did the exact same thing last year with my beat up Nikon FE. I was looking through my receipts from the local lab and realized I'd put through 187 rolls between January and November. The thing is I never even planned it, I just keep a few rolls in my bag and shoot whenever I see something worth grabbing. My fridge is basically a film vault at this point with all the exposed rolls waiting to be developed. It's crazy how fast it adds up when you're not thinking about it.

Nah, I don't really buy it. Used the same $40 Andis for ten years now. Never hurt my hands.

The Wago lever nuts he used have a 32 amp rating but most standard US outlets are 15 or 20 amp circuits, so they're fine for that. I've pulled apart a few of those connectors that got hot and the plastic was melted but the contacts still worked, which kinda freaks me out. If you do a lot of work inside tight boxes they're way easier than twisting wires and screwing on a wire nut, I'll give them that. But I've seen enough failures in high load continuous use like space heaters that I still reach for a wire nut and tape most of the time.

350 degrees exactly. I switched to light colored loaf pans and never looked back.

Its fine if its tight" - that splice probably held fine for years til something else went wrong. Most of these blow up because people overcomplicate it. A tight splice beats a loose one every time.
