Don’t get another tool until you listen to this. When I built a fence last summer, my brother-in-law brought an auger. It made the job faster, but the auger alone would've left me with holes in my yard and a trip to the ER. It wouldn’t have built the fence for me.

The tool is not the solution. Today, I use James Patterson, George R.R. Martin, and Stephen King to show why the system beats the tool, and how to figure out which tools you actually need.
