Check the review sections on other sites too. A lot of those sellers have the same complaints on Etsy or their own store pages. A blacklist here won't stop them from scamming people somewhere else.

My old chain checker cost twelve bucks and lasted five years. That's like two cents per use. Seen too many people mess up the ruler method, especially on worn sprockets. A worn chain wrecks your whole drivetrain way faster. The tool just takes the guesswork out.

Oh man, my peace lily pulled that exact trick on me. It would look sad, I'd check the top soil, feel some dampness, and wait. The meter showed it was a desert down by the roots. Started watering based on the meter reading and it perked right up. Those thick roots can hold moisture at the top while the bottom half is totally parched. That cheap meter saved me from killing it with kindness.

My friend got his whole channel nuked.

Remember that city park redesign last year? My friend's team started with maybe 50 plant layers for the landscaping plan. Then the city kept adding stuff, like specific tree types for each block and different pavement samples. It ended up with over 300 layers just for the garden beds. The final file took forever to open.
