Had the same thing happen with my old ratchet crimper, kept telling myself it was fine until I borrowed a friend's one for a weekend job. Swapped it out after that and never looked back, probably saved me an hour a day. Sometimes you just get used to fighting your tools without even noticing.

Hold up, you actually bought Scythe because of the box art? That's wild to me lol. I can't imagine dropping that much cash on a game just for the look when the reviews all say the mechanics are rough.

The air fryer still needs a little oil for real crispiness, just not as much.
