TSC here in Canada sells some giant wrenches, its a farm supply store so I imagine they are for fittings on tractors and stuff like that

As already stated, why not stick with Canadian tire? Mastercraft would be equal or better quality and you get a life time warranty with Mastercraft hand tools

put up an add on craigslist offering fluid draining. $25 a pop, so to speak.

now you're just being butthurt

There is little logic in that statement, if you said the tool in question was a jackhammer, everyone here could positively know it is not, even if they don't actually know what it is.

I buy what ever tool is the best bang for the buck for the job at hand. only thing I wont buy on purpose are made in china tools that don't come with a life-time warranty. Being in Canada most of my tools are Mastercraft, I buy Canadian or American made when possible but I like to see the tool...
