Spray foam is the devil, always go T&M on unknown walls.

Honestly, I don't get the "dedicated running playlist machine" thing. You're telling me you only use a gadget that does exactly one thing, and then you have to carry a whole separate device for music? That sounds like a pain. My phone already handles my running playlists plus everything else, so why would I want to lug two things around? I used to try that with an old iPod nano and it just ended up collecting dust because I always forgot to charge it. Seems like you're adding extra steps for no real benefit.

Use a rubber strap wrench. I had the same thing happen with a can of Minwax last month. The lid twisted right off without any prying or damage. Costs about ten bucks at any hardware store and works on paint cans too.

oh hey I actually saw a youtube video where a guy tested those cheap bits vs like a $60 freud set and the cheap ones lasted pretty long on pine and poplar. the main difference was the carbide quality and how long they hold an edge on hardwoods like oak or maple. sounds like for softwood and ply they are totally fine for most jobs lmao

Man, that's worse than the time I bought a "waterproof" tent that leaked harder than my old Chevy.
