Spent about $300 on a coolant refractometer after a bad batch ruined a job

Honestly, it felt like a splurge at the time, but checking the mix before every run has saved so many parts from corrosion. Ngl, I should have bought one years ago. Anyone else have a tool they waited too long to get?

My dad's garage is full of those "should've bought it sooner" tools.

Buddy bought a snowblower after 15 winters of shoveling. Same sentence.

It's the same with kitchen gadgets. You suffer through years of grating cheese by hand before finally getting the tool that makes it easy.
