I finally tried that new compression tool from the supply truck after my foreman in Toledo swore it was faster, and now I'm mad I waited so long.

I was sure it was just another gimmick, but after using it to finish a whole apartment complex drop in under two hours last week, I have to admit it actually works. What other 'gimmick' tools have you guys tried that turned out to be worth the money?

Oh man, I know that feeling. I put off getting one of those new laser levels for months, thought it was just a fancy toy. Used my buddy's on a foundation job and it cut our setup time in half. Sometimes you just have to swallow your pride and admit the new stuff works better.

Right? But what about the battery life?

Cut our setup time in half" is a bit much, lol. I mean yeah they're handy but we're talking about a laser level here not a time machine.
