Its delicate stuff that requires good material selection, good heat
treating and quality manufacturing that is in question here. I
managed to bust a HF box end wrench not long ago. 5/8" and it took a
4' cheater pipe to do it. Then I found out the ****er was left
handed...sigh.

Which was left handed? The 5/8 box end wrench, or the cheater
pipe?

It was a right handed pipe used on a left handed bolt...and that bolt
wasnt marked with an L ..damnit!!

Grumble grumble. Now I got to stock a lefthanded snipe in the
truck...grumble grumble....

Just be glad you don't have to stock one in Metric sizes as well.
