Yeah, but isn't that about par for the course for "GM Performance"?


Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

Re: My Ford brake line was tougher than...

Thanks guys... I was beginning to wonder if I was the only one who thought this was funny.

I thought that there would be some kind of warranty on that "GM Performance Parts" wrench...nope.
I bought a Craftsman line wrench to replace it.  You can tell just by the weight that the Craftsman is much more solid.
I usually buy Craftsman anyway, but I bought these as a set of 3 line wrenches on a whim one day because I needed a line wrench and that was the brand the parts house sold (don't remember if it was O'reilly's, Autozone, Advance Auto, etc)... and I was already there... never again.

MustangSteve's Rule of Tools

Buying a cheap tool only functions to increase the cost of the good tool by what you paid for the cheap one.

AND THE PART THAT WAS DAMAGED BY THE CHEAP TOOL !! 


The amount of fun is directly proportionate to the damage done.

And don't forget that gouge in your hand when that sucker broke and your hand flew back and hit something that did not get out of the way!!!!!!
