The brushless setups are sick but i still have fear of vendor lock-in and i KNOW for a FACT that the month after i spend $500 on brushless tools that the line will be discontinued and I'll be hosed. 120v 60hz is always there.

tools i would like to have but never will because holy gently caress they are too expensive to buy for fun:



https://www.flukenetworks.com/enterprise-network/network-testing/linkiq-cable-and-network-tester

for about $2.5k you can have a sweet rear end network diagnostic handheld!

i did manage to snag an old barebones model off ebay that will at least confirm link/dhcp/PoE though, and apparently now internet connectivity too--back when i bought it whatever server they hard-coded for testing was down, but apparently someone revived it



oldjob had this crazy hardware tcpdump unit that i wish i knew the name of. similar form factor to an oscilloscope, you plug in ethernet at either end and the screen displays a running log of packet details on a terminal-esque screen. archaic af but very badass

update: well, not that, but did find a https://www.flukenetworks.com/datacom-cabling/copper-testing/MicroScanner-Cable-Verifier on ebay with major cosmetic damage (read: the entire top plastic bit is missing) for $280

gently caress it that's repair-able enough (ideally i find some 3D printer friends who can make something better than me just wrapping it in electrical tape) that im getting one. gonna diagnose the poo poo out of the hack job google fiber techs did on the cabling to my unit



that keystone may be rated CAT6 but that length of exposed pairs sure af aint. it'll _usually_ do gigabit media but if you touch it it dies and flaps constantly unless you force it to 10/100

i am channeling the spirit of the large polish-american man who kept my alma mater's ethernet wiring clean and up to speed, even though the actual network design was completely batshit (that's more of a "college started doing internet back when you got assigned an entire class C and has made odd decisions since" issue though)
