I use a laser pointer attached to my polar scope. It projects a red dot on the ground so I can roughly line up Polaris before I even look through the scope. Saves a few minutes of fiddling in the dark.

Had a bolt snap off flush last week. Drilled a small pilot hole, hammered in a torx bit, and it came right out.

Interesting point from @mason_murray. In my experience, the real problem was the lack of choice, even if prices were okay. Being stuck with one store never works out well for people.
