## Resource

We are wrapping up the year with the ultimate Showdown, a March Madness-style bracket to crown the absolute best power tool brand. We randomly assign brands to defend, forcing us to make passionate arguments for tools we might actually hate (looking at you, Powerfist). We debate whether a "lifetime warranty" is actually a scam, why Powerfist is the worst name in marketing history, and we accidentally discover the most inappropriate mascot in sports history. Plus, one of us gets disqualified for using AI to write their debate points 🫢 Got questions?
