Hot take: my $20 faucet aerator wrench was the best tool I bought this spring
I kept putting off fixing the low water pressure in my kitchen sink because I figured I'd have to swap the whole faucet. Turned out the aerator was crusted with years of junk, and a $20 wrench from the hardware store on Elm Street had it off in two minutes. Now the pressure is back and I feel silly for waiting so long. What cheap tool ended up saving you a bigger repair?
Wait, you waited that long over a crusty aerator?? I would've been losing my mind every time I washed dishes with that sad little trickle. $20 to basically get a whole new sink feeling is wild, that wrench paid for itself in one day.
