Bought a $25 inspection mirror with a light and it's my new best friend

I was working on a stacked washer dryer unit and could not see the back of the control board for a loose wire. Grabbed this cheap mirror on a stick with a little LED light from the truck. Found the problem in two minutes instead of pulling the whole unit out. Anyone else have a cheap tool that saves you hours?

My $5 magnet saved me from a dropped screw disaster.

Nice, those magnets are total lifesavers.

Honestly, I'm with gray792 on the lifesaver thing. But I've had those cheap magnets fail on me. Had one lose its pull after a few months. Dropped a tiny bracket into a deep computer case. Spent an hour fishing it out with tweezers. Sometimes you really do get what you pay for.
