My tool purchases have slowed down simply because I have almost everything I need/want and am pretty much out of room in my small garage. But I am still always looking at what is out there. If I had more room, I'd be a lot poorer.
That's funny because I use the hell out of the Wera Toolcheck. It is one of my favorite tool purchases in the last 10 years. But one man's garbage is another man's treasure so to each his own.
I had this happen to one of my doors and it was a bad bearing in the cable reel. It shouldn't happen with a new door but it happened to mine a few years ago.
