Sometimes cheap tools don't pay

[68LSS1]

I pretty much have all MAC and Snap-On with a few other odd and ends in the tool box at work but I can't afford the good stuff for home use also. Had a reputable brand 1/2" breaker bar break on me this morning. Nice clean fracture on the bar which resulted in 5 stitches in my finger. Now I'm not saying don't buy the cheaper stuff but maybe think about the use of the tool and the results if it did break while in use. If it can cause injury or damage maybe it's better to pony up a few dollars more.
