I've no idea of
costs in the U.S. but here a cheap Chinese wrench costs, maybe, a
dollar, or even three :-)

9 wrenches for $6 or an average of $0.67/ea. It's sometimes cheaper
to buy a set than a single wrench.


Tends to be a case of; "you get what you paid for" - although I tend to buy
sets from discount stores, most wear out quicker and I've had brittle ones
that snap at the first sign of serious work.

Generally; I take the view "they're tools, not ornaments" So I'm not always
particularly gentle with them - might as well wreck cheap tools than
expensive ones.

At the end of the day - all that matters is getting the job done.
