Inexpensive tooling is made for light duty occasional use. Quality tools are made for severe daily use.

Beyond the issues of damage to expensive aircraft parts and even more expensive human parts is the cost of replacements.

Ask the bean counters how much it costs to cut a PO to replace a tool. Saving 10 bucks on a wrench doesn't make much sense if you have to replace it twice as often and it costs 50 bucks to cut an order.
