I finally stopped eyeballing my swing radius on tight sites
Used to just guess based on the load chart, but after a close call in a Denver alley last month, I started using the crane's built-in LMI for every pick. Has anyone else made that switch and found it saves time or stress?

What took you so long? That LMI is there for a reason. I started trusting mine after a similar scare, and it actually speeds things up once you get used to it. You spend less time double checking and more time just making the pick.

Speeds things up" is the part I'm stuck on. How long did it take before you stopped second guessing it completely? I get the theory, but my brain keeps yelling that a wrong pick is way worse than a slow pick. Did you have any close calls that made you trust it more, or was it just forcing yourself to ignore the doubt?

Took me a solid month to get past that. I had one pick where the light was wrong but the screen said it was right, and grabbing it anyway felt crazy. When it scanned green, that was the moment it clicked for me. Now I just move on the beep.
