Just spent $300 on a thermal camera for my toolkit, and it already paid for itself.

Found a failing VRM on a gaming rig that was just out of warranty, a problem I would have missed with standard diagnostics. What other diagnostic tools have you all found unexpectedly useful?

Cheap tools fixing expensive stuff is a whole mood.
