Granted, there have been problems with some of the less expensive of these,
and there is indeed little that can go wrong with a bending beam wrench, and
I suppose if someone isn't doing that sort of work all the time they might
not have much sense of how tight is tight. I guess that I am used to very
careful technique (if I don't do it right and something comes unglued at 120
mph, the consequences can be a bit off-putting).
