Took me 2 years to figure out my dual action sander was on the wrong setting

I was using my DA sander on the highest orbit setting for everything, wondering why I kept burning through clear coat. A guy at a shop in Portland watched me for like 30 seconds and asked if I knew the knob on top did something. Anyone else have a tool they used wrong for way too long?

Blew out two sets of brake pads on my truck before a buddy pointed out I was hauling like 500 extra pounds of gravel in the bed that whole time. Just sat there, extra weight, killing my pads for months. Felt like such an idiot when I realized the truck was basically squatting from all the rocks I forgot about. Still embarrassed thinking about it.

@coleman.jade did you just forget the gravel was back there or what?
