Six tries, man? That's some serious dedication lol. I would have given up after the second fogless morning for sure.

How did you decide on your rating system, @felix_jones?

Honestly, that extra step sounds like overkill to me. If the compressor isn't running and you've got power to it, the diagnosis is pretty clear. I've been doing this for years and my callback rate is fine without pulling out the meter every single time. Those two minutes add up over a dozen calls a week.

Ever buy a "pro" backpack that fell apart?

Oh man, that's so true! I read once that for any wood repair, you should always make sure the clamping pressure is even. I was fixing a chair leg and just cranked down one side of the clamp, and it totally pulled the joint crooked. Using a second clamp opposite the first made everything square and the glue set perfectly.
