Found out my drill has a clutch setting after stripping 30 screws.

Took me three days too the first time, but mostly because my cat kept sitting in the wet silicone. Every time I turned around he was parked right where I needed to run the bead. Ended up scraping the whole thing off on day two and starting fresh. Now I just close the bathroom door and let him yell at me from the hallway.

Have you ever thought about how analog tools actually show you what's happening in real time, instead of giving you a number that might be averaged or delayed? My old Sears timing light has a needle that jumps around when the points are worn or the chain is stretched, and that tells me more than any digital readout ever could. Digital stuff hides the messy little fluctuations that are usually the real clue. Sometimes the "outdated" tool is just more honest about what it's seeing.
