I used to eyeball my tool offsets for years, but a crash last month made me switch to a proper presetter

But sometimes that crash is just a fluke, not a reason to change a whole system.

Ain't that the truth? I had an old pressure washer I kept running with baling wire and duct tape for two years because it "still got the job done." One day it threw a rod in the middle of a big driveway job and I lost half the day cleaning up oil and waiting for a tow. That one fluke cost me more than three new machines would have. Ended up having to eat the cost of the job and give the customer a discount to keep their business. That's the thing about a fluke crash or breakdown - it doesn't care about your track record or your excuses.

Oh man, this hits home. I see this everywhere now, not just with tools. People will wing something for years because "it works," until that one big mistake forces a change. It's like refusing to back up your computer until you lose a huge project. The shortcut feels faster right up until it costs you way more time, or money, to fix the mess.
