Kept hearing those $8 magnetic parts trays were junk, then I dropped a screw in a running dryer
Had a guy in town swear by them for years and I always rolled my eyes. Cheap junk, how good could a magnet be. Then a screw fell into a dryer drum while it was spinning and I spent 40 minutes with a flashlight fishing it out of the blower housing.
Bought one the next day. The thing has held every screw and bit I've thrown at it for 6 months now. I was wrong.
What is the one cheap tool you wrote off for years before finally trying it?

Man, the part about being wrong is what gets me. We all got that one thing we swore was a gimmick until life smacked us with a 40 minute flashlight session. Here is the thing though, those cheap trays don't just save you the screw you dropped, they save the next three you were about to drop too, because now you actually got a spot to put stuff instead of balancing it on the frame. That is the real win nobody talks about. It is not about the magnet being strong, it is about the habit it forces you into.
