Finally saw why people swear by facing tools

Used to think facing a frame was just a waste of time. Extra step for no real gain. Then I got a customer's bike where the headset kept creaking no matter what I did. Took 15 minutes with a Park HTR-1 to face the headtube. Zero noise after. That was 3 months ago and the bike still rides perfect. Anybody else have a tool they ignored for years before trying?

Bottom bracket taps. Took me a decade.

Did you have to learn the hard way too with a ruined frame?
