Its okay and if you > need to do something that'd break it your gonna be stuck there anyway ;-) > In the US we have "Craftsman" brand tools at Sears. Sears guarantees a free replacement if they break. My only issue is if the tool breaks while repairing your truck in the field, that free replacement quarantee will not get your truck fixed. SnapOn and MAC make professional tools that rarely break and these have a free replacement plan as well. I used to use Craftsman tools until the SnapOn salesman lent me a set of tool to try in comparison. I have not used a Craftsman hand tool since then. You got to try them side by side to feel the difference. > >>One last thing - money.
