M “brought me” although she has not seen the full benefit of said decision yet
So far I am a good tool.
But I can be a real ****ty investment sometimes.
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.
These are crap adjustable spanner’s..

I use a Halfords tool box.you get a lifetime garentee (except wrenches) on the tools.
I do get the odd free to abuse sample from a tool manufacture.(also lifetime warranty)

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.

Anything from Alibaba! For example: Interior trim removal tool that was incapable of removing interior trim.
A cheap breaker bar which the joint failed on.
Bought what I thought was a reasonable quality bar from machine Mart
The joint snapped (Pug hub nut) so I took it back, unfortunately the joint wasn't guaranteed

Halfords Advanced Pro sets are brilliantly hard working tools. Here, guilty of owning three sets
Did it leak...
Worse
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.

That happens if you buy a left handed one by mistakeI hate those hammers that seem to hit the wrong nail

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.
