Re: Sorry but a rant/story about a Chinese door handle

I learned my lesson with "Snap Off" tools from overseas.

I broke 5 of those door handles on my old 98 GMC. Even the GM ones are crap.

OH, I did too. I paid 70 bux for a pistol grip grease gun, Freakin thing NEVER worked right (kept loosing prime). Every week I'd complain to the driver, He took it and brought it back the next week and said he couldn't find anything wrong with it then stopped coming in.

Last Friday when it stopped again I took 70 bux worth of frustration out on it with a 6 lb. sledge hammer.
