Maybe I'm a wimp, but I've never broken or bent an end wrench. I have
rounded off fasteners, though. That's why I stick with 6-points and
almost always use the box end. I'd like to see a test conducted
whereby the wrench-fastener interface is tested to see how much torque
it can withstand before something gives. Brand new fasteners of
various hardnesses as well as scientifically ``old, buggered-up''
fasteners, too.
