Last weekend I was changing a timing belt on one of my diesel so the crank pulley had to come off. I was using my Harbor Freight "road" set of 3/8 allen wrenches for the job when the 6mm wrench I was using snapped off. The first thing that went through my head was "I'm sure glad I wasn't depending on that to get me back on the road 300 miles from home." I have not had a tool just snap like that since I broke a 13mm Globemaster wrench on a VW carburetor nut. It made revisit the wisdom of "grabbing some cheap tools as spares to carry with you." Jim
