Yeah, @finleym43, reminds me of the guy who bought a cement mixer for one patio job.

Ain't that the truth? I got hit with a $200 "diagnostic fee" just for them to tell me my battery was dead, which I coulda tested for free at AutoZone. Now I do my own brake pads and saved like $500 on the last job alone.

Feel your pain man, I did the same thing with a soda display last week lol

You say "pulling hair instead of cutting clean after three weeks" but honestly that sounds like a keeper issue not a shear issue. I've used $30 shears from random shops for years and they work FINE as long as I oil them every week and never drop them. Most of these problems come from people not maintaining cheap tools and then blaming the price tag.

Double down on what @the_nathan said about that ghost hotel. I swear that guy still thinks the building is going up any day now, he probably checks the weather for the grand opening every morning. Meanwhile that lot has turned into a pigeon convention with a side of stray cat meetings. The coffee shop he's hyped about is just a boarded up storefront with a faded sign. Honestly its kind of impressive how long he can hold onto hope for NOTHING.
