I finally found a dead short in a 3 gang box after 2 full afternoons

Everyone talks about how a toner or a clamp meter finds stuff fast, but my issue was a backstabbed neutral that only shorted when the plate was torqued down. Took me 8 hours across two days in a Reno customer's kitchen, and I only caught it by wiggling wires while the breaker was on. Anyone else had a fault that only shows up under mechanical load, not electrical testing?
