inSwitched from band saw to hand sawing briskets after watching a pro do it at a demo in Kansas City
Are you really saving anything when you add four minutes per brisket plus the time to chill it down near frozen in the first place? By the time you factor in the extra prep and cleanup, you are giving up the one thing a band saw actually does well, which is speed on volume. I get that bone dust is a real issue, but a sharp blade and a slow feed on the saw fixes most of that without wrecking your yield. What happens when you have a rush order or a big cook and your arm gives out halfway through the third brisket? Hand sawing looks great at a demo where the guy has nothing else to do that day, but a busy kitchen is a different story.

inRetention line vs tech visit, surprised myself by what worked
The "real fix line for billing issues" thing is so true lol. I went through the same mess with techs telling me my lines were fine while my wifi was dropping every night. Retention actually listened and gave me a credit without a fight, which felt kinda backwards but whatever works.

inThat $30 lens spanner wrench set from Amazon was pure junk
Did you try sharpening the tips before you started? Cheap spanners are often soft steel, but a quick pass on a whetstone makes them bite better and stops them from bending. I have grabbed the cheap ones and they work fine once you treat them like a tool that needs prep, not a finished product.
