I don't use the same tools for Electronics and automotive work. I do have several large adjustable wrenches, but they are New Britain. The smaller ones for electronics are Xcelite, and they do have plastic coated handles.

I've also been told that no real mechanic ever uses an adjustable wrench because he has all the proper tools to work on a vehicle.

If that wrench still stinks, it had to stink when he bought it. If so, he should have bought something else. I had someone give me a buncuh of Japanese tools made in the '60s and '70s. They were made of pot metal, and the drill bits were so soft that they unwound while drilling plastic. They were quickly tossed in the scrap for recycling.

I agree about throwing out crap tools, or gather them all up, and only loan them to people instead of your good tools.

The only cheap tools that I have had were either given as cheap gifts, or will be part of what I clean out of my dad's house as we get it ready to sell. He got them from a neighbor who had passed away.

I started buying good quality tools as a teenager, and I still have some of them, 50 years later. The only ones that ever broke, were sold as tools for mechanics. The rest of what is missing were stolen from my truck, or at job sites.
