Best use of a Craftsman wrench

by a fellow the MI motorcycle gearheads will know, EJ Potter.

Actually, if you're close to Social Security age and are a long-time motorcycle enthusiast, you probably know who he is.

As a young guy racing:

I just took a 45 year old half inch breaker bar back to Sears because the spring behind the little ball that retains the socket broke. New one, no questions asked. Used it as a hammer, pry bar, and even to turn sockets now and then. Horrible quality.

Most all my tools are Craftsman and very few have failed. Other than the breaker bar above, the only ones that come to mind are regular sockets used on an impact wrench. Oh and a torque wrench I used as a breaker bar to remove the bolts on the K-member of my '68 Hemi R/T. They chattered so bad the indicator rod knocked off the ft/lb scale. I was accused of using that as a hammer but they replaced it no charge anyway.
