I once purchased a new 3" long, 1/2" drive extension from Sears, but the first time I tried to use it while torquing something to only about 85 lbs., it bent around like a pretzel -- apparently it was never properly tempered on the production line. I took it back and the cashier looked at it and asked how long a cheater I had used on the breaker bar and I responded that it was only on one of their own 150 lb. torque wrenches. Then he said, "Well, if it wasn't defective, then you're definitely not the sort of person I'd want to have an argument with."
(I do have running back shoulders, but I'm only average height.)
