Ugh, @seth838, I used to be one of those people who thought that way too. Hearing stuff like this totally changed my mind about what that work actually is.

Actually, your lawyer's point isn't about patience. It's that pushing too hard for speed can make you agree to bad terms just to get it done.

Listen for that sound all you want, but your ears can't catch a hairline crack in a sawzall blade. I've had tools feel fine right up until they launched a piece of shrapnel. That "feel" goes away fast when you're running a loud extractor or wearing gloves. Checking takes ten seconds and it beats a trip to urgent care.
