You mean, a product was invented, but it threatened a major industry, so it was shelved? I know there was a very functional electric car about 20ish years ago. They were leased out, and then customers weren't allowed to keep them after whatever time frame. Then they were all crushed. We will never know the amazing things that could be if mega companies would allow it

Get a wire hanger. Cut the straight piece out of it. Put it in your drill and place it right next to the wall and drill down into the basement. The hole it leaves is not noticeable abs you can easily figure out how everything lines up.

Agreed. Not all companies are created equal. I really do hate lumping things into a convenient little box. My statement was more general, but thankfully, there are exceptions.
