My rotary brush head snapped clean off yesterday mid-job

I was about 30 minutes into a clean over on Maple Street when the whole rotary head on my brush just gave out. The thing flew off and bounced off the firebox wall. I had to pack up and drive 20 miles back to the shop to grab the backup unit. Ended up losing almost 2 hours and had to call the homeowner to push the appointment back. Anyone else have a tool fail on them at the worst possible time?

Lost a belt on my truck halfway to a job last week. Guess we both learned that the universe hates us equally today.

Buddy of mine had the same thing happen on his way to a job interview last year. Serpentine belt snapped on the highway and he was stuck for like two hours waiting for a tow. Missed the interview completely. @grant.luna the universe doesn't care about our schedules at all. He ended up getting a different job a few weeks later but still it was just bad timing. Sometimes you just gotta laugh about it or you'll cry.
