M “brought me” although she has not seen the full benefit of said decision yet:)
So far I am a good tool:p:D:D.
But I can be a real ****ty investment sometimeso_O.

I have had a few crap adjustable spanner’s in my time, hang I will get a pic so nobody else falls into the same trap.

Is there not a golden rule, a gentleman never skimps on his tools? Always buy best quality for life long service [I exclude over priced Snap-on from this rule].
I generally try and keep to this but there has been the odd occasion when I've needed something for one specific job and was pretty sure I'd never use it again. In those cases I object to paying top dollar.
 
Tricky to be sure what the actual worst tool is, they all have their moments when the job is going wrong. Any B&Q own brand tool is pretty dire though.

A current hate is laser plastic 6 wheeled creepers. I seem to break them rapidly, I can see I’ll end up making my own soon.
 
Any oil filter pliers that are not channellock, I was so convinced the cheapies would do the job I ended up with at least half a dozen pairs of useless pliers, then bought the channellocks, the same chanenllocks I still use 10 years later at work with zero issues, their parrot nose/nut buster pliers are also very good.
