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.
Again, for the end customer, the level of damage that they are experiencing is too little to bother. Alex
