I finally switched from using my old 2002 Fluke 87 for everything to a newer clamp meter

For years I just used that old Fluke for voltage checks and basic continuity... it was a tank but slow. On a big panel swap in Denver last month, my buddy let me try his Klein CL800, and the built-in non-contact voltage sensor and in-rush current reading saved me a ton of time. Now I keep the Fluke in the truck as a backup and use the clamp meter for most service calls. Anyone else have a go-to meter they can't work without?

Bought a $400 drywall lift for a single big ceiling job...

What's going on with your saw? Mine keeps getting water everywhere and the blade wobbles like crazy.

Serious question, is a rail pass ever worth it for a short trip?

You're only looking at the ticket price. The pass wins on flexibility, hands down. What if you see a cool town and just want to hop on the next train?

Had to pick between a 3D printed jig and a full custom weld for a weird angle on a steel frame. Went with the jig.

Trust the jig, it's basically a robot holding your hand. Welding that angle would have been a whole day of swearing and rework. Sometimes the simple fix is the smart one.

Heard a guy at the coffee shop say AI art is just 'fancy copy and paste'

My friend's art teacher saw his AI assisted piece and asked who the real artist was. He had to explain how he built the prompt like a sketch first, you know?
