You don't just up and buy a higher quality version when you're stuck on the side of the road, you count your blessings that you have like 5 other extensions, all better brands than HF.
It's almost a nice convenient road kit, but yeah when you can literally twist-break an extension just using your hands and arms, the metal is shit tempered and can't handle torsion forces.
Which is exactly what ratchets and extensions are meant to handle, torsion forces, AKA twisty forces.
Oh for emergency in the car tools totally get the good stuff. But when you are trying to outfit your garage cheaply to get stuff done, it's a good enough starting point.
If you can afford a garage, you can afford good tools. If I had a garage, you think I'd cheap out on my tools?
I had to go back at the bolt in question with a wrench from another kit after breaking the extension. At least I have other better extensions, I just didn't have them with me at the moment.
Well, boomer, most people can’t afford a garage (let alone a whole house). So Harbor Frieght tools it is!
