Couldn't that metal taste just be in your head?

Solid saying, and it works because blind trust gets you burned every time. That check step saves a lot of headaches down the road. It's just good practice for anything, really.

Swore by my manual caliper too, lol. New tech changed everything.

Wow! I used to be sure that when products smelled like food, it was a choice. Your comment about the hand soap smelling like Laffy Taffy bananas really shifted my view. Now I see it's probably just a mix-up in the scent labs. It's happening all the time, and I can't unsee it. My lotion smells like key lime pie, and it's not even a food brand. This accidental food smell trend is getting out of hand!

Honestly, my buddy's crane gauge was busted, so he learned to judge by the cable hum.
