Old journey man told me to stop using my impact driver for everything on trim work

I was zipping in outlet boxes with my impact like always and he walked over and said 'you're gonna snap every screw and crack the plastic if you keep that up.' So I switched to a standard drill with the clutch set low and it's way better - has anyone else had to unlearn bad habits from a senior guy on the job?

Question about a framing trick I saw at a job site in Boise

I was helping a crew frame a garage in Boise last month, and the lead guy showed me how he uses a 3-inch deck screw to temporarily hold a top plate in place while he nails it off. He said it lets him get the alignment perfect without a second set of hands. I tried it on a shed build last week and it saved me a ton of time. Has anyone else used screws for temporary framing holds, or is that a bad habit to get into?

Had a guy bring in a vintage Nikon with the shutter stuck... from him trying to 'oil it' with cooking spray.

He said he saw a video about 'light lubrication' and figured vegetable oil was close enough. The whole curtain is gummed up and now it needs a full strip and clean. Anyone ever seen a home fix that made you just stop and stare for a minute?

That old timer at the Pittsburgh union hall told me 'A clean weld is a strong weld, kid' and I've never forgotten it.

He said it while I was rushing a root pass on a 6-inch carbon steel pipe, and I've slowed down for every bead since. Anyone else have a piece of advice that just clicked like that?

Tbh, my brother keeps using the wrong sandpaper grit on our family heirloom chair. How do I handle this without starting a fight?

My family has no clue what aircraft maintenance really entails.

Ngl, explaining the tech specs to them is exhausting.
