PSA: I was stripping 12-gauge wire with my linesman pliers for years before a foreman in Phoenix pointed out the notches on my strippers.

He saw me struggling on a panel swap and just said 'those are for 10 and 12, man.' Anyone else have a tool feature they missed forever?

My old foreman in Tampa watched me fight with a screwdriver on a terminal block for a solid hour. He finally tossed me a nut driver and just walked away shaking his head.

Classic @aaronf40. We've all been there. That slow walk away says it all.

Man, that slow walk is the universal sign you've been a total bonehead. I once spent twenty minutes trying to force a square peg into a round hole, literally. My buddy just sighed, turned the peg, and slid it right in. The shame walk back to the toolbox is a rite of passage.
