Ditto situation for 15mm Park cone wrenches. We go through one per week due to users applying these to torque end nuts on hubs. They are great tools, but education is sorely required - shall we say.
WOW, One a week. That has got to be a record. Some people shouldn't be allowed to touch tools without a ton of training.
