I thought those cheap thermal cameras from Harbor Freight were junk until one found a bad connector on a King Air's autopilot.

Man, that's so true. It's like the world runs on cheap tools doing jobs they weren't meant for. I've seen a mechanic use a $20 borescope from Amazon to find a lost socket in an engine block. Or a buddy who fixed a weird electrical short in his car with a $5 circuit tester from the auto parts store. Sometimes the fancy gear just gets in the way, and the simple, cheap thing shows you the problem right away.

My old boss swore by a cheap harbor freight multimeter for quick diagnostics.
