Dropped $200 on a fancy Blum jig and it sat in the box for 6 months before I used it

Honestly, I bought that fancy drill jig from Blum last spring thinking it'd make door hinges a breeze. Paid around $200 for the kit and then kept putting it off because my old method worked fine. Finally used it last week on a set of 12 cabinet doors and man, I was annoyed I waited so long. The alignment was dead on first try on every single door, no adjustments needed. Now I'm kicking myself for not opening the box sooner. Anybody else buy a tool and let it collect dust before realizing it's a game changer?

12 doors with no tweaking sounds like beginner's luck to me.

Whoa wait... 12 doors without any tweaking at all? That's actually insane to me. I've been playing this game for years and I've never once seen a streak like that without something being off. Most runs I have to adjust at least a couple doors before they even close right, let alone stay shut. Are you sure they weren't already set up perfectly or something? That just sounds too clean for a normal session.
