Rotate until they mess up your order, then bounce.

Man, the "$300 digital level" part hit me right in the wallet. I did the exact same thing last fall, bought one thinking I was being all high tech and professional. First job with it, I dropped it off a ladder and the screen went all weird, so now it's basically a very expensive paperweight. My old man's been using the same beat up string line and a bubble level for 20 years, and he's never once needed to charge his tools overnight. I guess the real trick is that the cheap stuff never lies, it just sits there and waits for you to figure it out.

...and honestly that's just how most shop decisions go, you pick the thing that sounds cool until the first time you're coughing up soot or scrubbing grease off your ceiling. It's like how everyone with a wood stove learns real fast why the old timers always mention chimney cleaning, the pretty option and the practical option are rarely the same thing. Give me the boring, predictable setup every time, my lungs and my paint job will thank me later.
