My foreman Vince in Tulsa bet me $50 that a wood float beats magnesium on a broom finish
He was right and I still think about that $50 every time I grab the mag float out of habit, so what tool did you swear by until someone made you eat your words?

That line about grabbing the mag float out of habit really hits home. It is funny how we get stuck on the first way we learned to do something, even when a better way is sitting right there. My uncle swore by a plain hack saw for cutting PVC until a kid on his crew used a ratchet cutter and finished a whole run in half the time. Same thing happens in the kitchen. People mash potatoes with a fork for years because that is what their mom did, then one day someone hands them a ricer and lunch changes forever. Vince cost you $50 but he probably saved you a hundred hours of wrist pain down the road.
