Valdis Kletnieks responded:
It doesn't take long for the average mechanic to learn that buying cheap wrenches is a bad idea.
to which Alex replied:
Do you take your car to McLaren service center? Why not? They definitely have better tools.
To which I say: No, but if the mechanic I did go to had a habit of using tools that regularly caused my car to halt and catch fire with me in it, I think I'd switch mechanics until I found somebody that used more reliable tools. -- Scott Francis || darkuncle (at) darkuncle (dot) net illum oportet crescere me autem minui
