Rant: I used to set posts with just a shovel and a level. After a job in Everett with pure clay, I bought a gas-powered auger.

That Everett clay was like concrete and we were a full day behind by lunch. My old boss drove over with his Stihl BT 360 and we finished six holes in an hour. Now I won't start a wood fence without one, even for just a few posts. Anyone else have a tool they fought buying that became a total game changer?

Did you already own a fence puller too? That auger saved my back more than anything else I've bought. Crazy how one bad job can make you rethink your whole setup.

Never argue with a machine that wins.

Used to think arguing with machines was pointless, but @tyler614 is right about the winning ones. I lost a long chess game to a computer and realized it just teaches you your own weak spots. Changed how I see those arguments now.
