How strong is your ratchet?

I can tell you from experience, Mac Tools makes some really crappy stuff.

I've got a huge box filled with broken Mac tools.

A few years back I was working on a Ford F150, either Axle U Joints or Ball Joints, can't remember. I know I was removing the spindle. I slapped a 1/2" Drive Mac Ratchet on one of the nuts, put a Cheater Pipe to it, wedged myself in against the fenderwell and put everything I had into leverage on the ratchet and cheater pipe...

I split the ratchet in half, (right down the middle), nut didn't move. Grabbed an ancient Craftsman ratchet out of the drawer, put the same leverage on it, and the nut came off.

I can show you pairs of Vice Grips that I've snapped the jaws off of by squeezing them too hard too.
