Tools are like wives, every time you loan one out it comes back dirty or broken, if it comes back at all!

Or do like I sometimes do. I bought a Time Sert kit to repair spark plug threads and two extra inserts for my Shovelhead at NAPA. I used it without beating it up then returned it to the store in like new condition and said I couldn't get the tool into the space I needed. They cheerfully returned my $55.oo N.Q.A.
