Funny 1 star Amazon tool reviews

[Sparky Six Axis]

I really enjoy 1 star Amazon reviews. They're just oh so good. I'm making this thread to share the good ones I come across.

This genius is using USA made cable cutters to cut steel cable. COMEDY

Dead blow hammers - one review complained there was sand inside. Another complained that it was only partially filled with sand.

I saved this back when Amazon allowed commenting/replies on reviews. IMO they really should allow replies again. They probably disabled commenting to protect idiot reviewers from getting blasted!

A lot of the one star reviews are classic Dunning-Kruger type folks doing what they do best.

Even happens right here on garagejournal. You would think everyone here would know that drywall screws were made of cheap hardened steel to the point that they are brittle

I messed the cutters on my linemans up by cutting drywall screws. Emailed Klein and they specified “machine screws”. A bit misleading in my opinion.

I just bought my shop guy a new Wire Rope Cutter, cuz someone used his cable cutter on wire rope. Monday I will dress the cable cutter blades.

Drywall screws are hard af.

Bought a $40.00 harbor freight battery load tester.
Directions say “Will smoke on first use” burning off manufacturing stuff.
one star review said” junk smoked the first time I hooked it up”!,
im probably in the minority,even if I know how to use something I read through the literature that comes with new stuff.

When I worked at Autozone their battery tester would smoke sometimes.

Another type I see sometimes is people who bought the wrong size:

Tool (e.g. pliers) comes in 5 sizes. They bought size 3. Turns out it's bit too small for what they needed it for... 2-star review.

One time at Autozone I sold a breaker bar and a 30mm socket. The guy went outside, stuck it on his CV axle nut, jumped on it and snapped the breaker bar. Then brought it back inside and got his money back.
