Probably the worst thing I could wake up to on a Sunday. Took all my personal tools, half of my wire, and my entire pack out set. If anyone in the Seattle area sees some packouts or makita tools for sale let me know as they’re probably mine.

My parent's house has this 100 year old Hubbel light switch, but it didn't work consistently for as long as I can remember. I took it apart, polished the outside, and bent the internal contacts back into shape and now it works great! The physical mechanism is incredibly sturdy and satisfying to use.
