Dropped $80 on those Magswitch magnetic leveling feet

Swapped them onto my scaffold after a guy in Pittsburgh recommended them at a union meeting last spring and they saved me from re-leveling the platform four times on a single job site this week, anyone else try these or stick to the wooden shims?

Man I feel you on the re-leveling frustration, that's the worst part of any scaffold setup especially on uneven ground. Dropping that much on Magswitch feet sounds like a gamble but when they save you from having to crawl around with shims four times in one job it pays for itself quick. It's nice when a random tip from a guy at a meeting actually works out that well instead of being another bust.

Spent more on those feet than my first car cost me.

$80 on leveling feet, are you serious? @mark_green probably spent that on a dozen cups of coffee and a pack of smokes back in the day. But hey, four times in one job, that's wild.
