Just started doing handyman gigs a month ago and today I quoted a basic shelf install using my DeWalt 20V drill for $150 flat rate. Customer wanted it mounted on a garage wall but I drilled into what I thought was a solid stud and the whole damn thing came crashing down during the test hang, splintering their old toolbox below. Now they're pissed and I'm out $50 in materials, plus gotta redo it for free to make it right. Saw a similar screw-up on r/handyman last week but didn't think it'd happen to me.

Grab a StudBuddy attachment for that DeWalt next time, it grips the drill better and gives you more torque control without slipping.
