Spent $400 on a thermal camera for my phone, and it's been a game changer for finding shorts

I was chasing a weird intermittent drain issue on a Samsung front loader for way too long last month. The Flir One showed a hot spot on the main control board that I never would have felt by hand, saving me from a misdiagnosis. Has anyone else found a specific tool that paid for itself on one tricky job?

Wait, you spent four hundred bucks on a camera for your phone?

Check the price again, Chris. It was four hundred for the lens, not the camera.
