    Show us your broken wrenches

    Who other than a tool polisher takes pictures of the tools they break? I have broke a ton of **** up here in the rust belt.

    Snap on ctr767 vs ctr761

    Exactly!!! I broke my Milwaukee a few times before upgrading to a Snap on. Milwaukee was great with the warranty process, but the head is a weak link. Been beating on the snappy for quite some times with no issues. The extended version is on my list.
