Mine seem to be fairly solid, I can undo most stuff with them. But you have to be sensible about it, if it feels like it is not going to shift, then you get a power bar and socket, or a ring spanner and hammer. If you go beating the shit out of a ratchet spanner with a hammer, they get fucked pretty quickly. Some of the powerbuilt ones I have are getting a little sloppy from abuse and one of the 12mm ones will only work one way now. Thats why I have gone Teng and Gearwrench over powerbuilt they are more robust.
But then my stuff gets used most days at some point, on anything from chainsaws to trucks, and I even keep a few in the digger now. You can never have too many tools.![]()
For a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him.Keep an open mind, just dont let your brains fall out.
Oh, and the open end on the powerbuilt stuff is weaker than the ratchet end, and they start to spread quite easily.![]()

Undoing stuff from tight with the open end is desperation stuff. Open end is only access problem stuff.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.
I'm sometimes desperate with a hammer. But not tried it on the ratchet spanners. . . Yet.
