Sounds like you got lucky once and now you're stuck with a tool that can't handle the jobs that actually pay. A camera that fuzzes out at 12 feet won't save you on the next tight bend, so maybe learn to read a flue before spending more on gadgets.

Man, this hits close to home! I did the same thing last year and got to 38 bags before I made myself stop, and the sad part is the best cup I had all year came from a bag my sister left at my place when she visited. The chase is real and it gets you spending way more than you mean to, but at least you learned your lesson for the price of a car insurance bill.

Me using the cheapest grease for years thinking I was a bearing whisperer, turns out I was just a comeback machine.
