No pics but I broke a 3/8 extension and a 3/8 breaker bar trying to swap the wheels+tires from my 98 Silverado to my 95 Suburban before I sell the 98. Hopefully they will honor the warranty - metal shouldn't just break like that. I won't mention that I was jumping on it ;) And no, I was not able to get them all off.

How about those stupid electric impact guns. Everybody seems to keep giving me 1 or 2 each year. They are such junk! LOL The first one literally went up in flames! And then after it caught fire I got out my breaker bar and spun the nut off LMAO Complete junk!

Every other one has faired about the same. And every time the breaker bar has taken the nut off when the gun wont LOL Maybe it vibrates some rust loose but they don't spin anything off LOL

That is high quality China for you !!! I would be so embarrassed to be Chinese! Destroy the Earth with toxic chemicals and pollution so you can produce complete and utterly useless freakin junk!

I love my air impact, but even that was probably made in China. Friggin' Ingersoll-Rand. Took my LS flywheel bolts off like they were hand tight, though, and it sounds like NASCAR at WOT, so I guess I can't complain too much. I don't think I've ever actually broken a tool yet, though. Knock on wood.

I used a snap on cordless 3/8 drive impact to disassemble my old motor and it was bad ass. Too bulky though. Im a fan of air. If you keep oil in them and keep the water out of your tank even the cheap ones hold up quite awhile.

Haha, since this post I've built my collection up at work, I have the Milwaukee 1/2" 3/8" and 1/4" impacts, the 1/2" does 700ftlb tightening torque and 1000 breaking torque. I wouldn't give them up for anything lol
