Back in 2015, I started using a cheap laser pointer to trace runs in drop ceilings and it saved me hours.

Exactly. This is the same problem with those super bright LED flashlights everyone buys now. People chase the biggest number for the cheapest price, with zero thought about where it's actually meant to be used. You blind everyone on the jobsite or on the road. It's not about having the most powerful tool, it's about having the right one for the situation. We've gotten so used to buying the extreme version of everything that basic, appropriate safety gets ignored.

That's a clever trick, but be careful with cheap laser pointers. Many sold online are actually too powerful and not eye-safe for a work site. A Class 2 laser, which is safe if you blink, is what you want for this kind of pointing task. Using an overpowered one around other tradespeople could be a real hazard. It's one of those things where the right tool matters for safety, not just getting the job done.
