Am I the only one who finally understood the point of a lens spanner wrench after a disaster in my garage?

Three years ago, I was fighting a stuck filter ring on a 50mm and mangled the front element trying to pry it with pliers... cost me $150 for the part. Has anyone else had a tool click for them after a costly mistake?

That "costly mistake" thing hits home. I once tried to free a seized bolt with a cheap wrench that snapped and put a hole in my drywall. Some lessons just cost more to learn.

Tell me about it, my drill bit snapped and took out a window.

Used to think buying cheap tools was smart to save money. Then a socket wrench shattered on me and left a nasty gash in my hand. Now I see the pricey stuff as paying for safety, not just the name. That hospital bill sure changed my mind real quick lol.
