Pro tip: I used to dread stump removal until I switched from a 4-inch to an 8-inch grinder wheel.
What used to take me a full afternoon on a big oak now takes under two hours. Anyone else have a tool upgrade that cut their job time in half?

Switching to a cordless impact driver was a total game changer for deck building. Driving three inch screws used to kill my wrist and take forever with a regular drill. Now it zips them in like nothing, probably cuts my fastening time by 60 percent.

Oh man, telling me about it. That switch is like going from a hand shovel to a backhoe, no joke. Fiona_scott44's comment about digging holes by hand really hits home, because using a regular drill on deck screws felt like that kind of old-school pain. My first deck project I didn't have an impact driver and my whole arm would be buzzing for an hour after. Now it's just a quick brrrrt and the screw is buried. It feels like cheating, but the good kind.
