Something similar could be done with bicycle hubs, cranks, bearings...
Ok go to Walgreen's and buy a 6" adjustable wrench. Then get a similar wrench from say, Snap-On or Mac Tools Subject them to the same levels of use and abuse leave them out in the rain etc. I guarantee that the Snap-On wrench will last longer, and even if something DID happen to it Snap_on would stand behind their product and replace it -no questions asked. The Walgreen's wrench? You'd be lucky to get a refund.
