Craigslist can be the best place for picking up great deals on photography stuff if you are willing to take some risk. This preowned EF-S 17-55 f-2.8 was purchased from CL for $400, almost 1/2 off sticker price. The autofocus of the lens works great but manual focus ring is loose and was hated across board for shoddy construction. So, after a quick a google around, I go into operation table with my newly acquired tool. Below is the step by step dissection of the lens till i reach the focus ring. Tightening it up and put it back together in one hour. On my way, I had to deal with some very tiny screws and magnetic tips came in handy.
