Spent $180 on a laser level I swore I'd never need, now I won't work without it

I fought against buying one for years since my string lines always worked fine, but after a three-day crown molding job in a stairwell where the ceiling angles kept throwing my chalk lines off, I borrowed a buddy's rotary laser and it cut my layout time in half, has anyone else been converted by a tool they thought was overpriced?

Honestly, that's exactly how it went for me with a cordless impact driver. I spent years using a drill and a manual screwdriver like some kind of caveman, then my brother-in-law made me try his on a deck rebuild. The time savings on stripping screws alone was ridiculous, plus my wrist didn't feel like it got hit by a truck after forty minutes. Now I've got two of them and I get annoyed if I have to grab a regular screwdriver for anything.
