I learned the hard way. Back when I had my Boxster I would replace my brake pads when they became worn. I’ve got nice quality tools for important jobs and disposable tools (Harbor Freight) for less critical jobs (hanging pictures, replacing batteries in my kid’s toys etc. . . )

As I was using my Snap On Ratcheting wrench and socket to remove the caliber I heard a loud pop and something beaned me square in the forehead. The extension broke. Stupid me wasn’t wearing my safety glasses.

Naturally I was upset my Snap On tools failed me on a simple operation but upon further examination it appeared a cheap Harbor Freight extension somehow got mixed in with my tools.

Now I check my tools more carefully. The sticky at the top of most Pelican Parts forums warning us of the Harbor Freight Jack Stand recall is also a reminder.
