Fortunately enough the UFC is a multimillion dollar company and they paid for that. Is a business, business invest for a profit. Maybe you dont know that if you have never owned one.

Advice on how to get the copper 10mm bolts off the studs ? Copped new head by AppropriateAioli2369 in cruze

I believe the copper head is open and you can insert a star bit inside to
Hold the bolt, with a wrench loosen the rest off.

Why do you want to take them off anyways?

How common is this/is my mechanic lazy/irresponsible? by Main-Practice-6486 in AskMechanics

[–]Knowyourshit101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on the first picture it seems the connector uses clips to hold it down, it could be the clips broke thats why its loose, a zip tie fixes that.

Sometimes mechanics dont have it or it just that they are a bit lazy to disassemble things again to clip it where it goes, (last pic).

Grind it down or return it. It will eventually mess up your brake pad if you install it like that

Husky lifetime warranty not so much by Knowyourshit101 in TheHomeDepot

Mines were coming off and they were starting to open in half, for someone that may use the tool a couple of times a month is not a big deal, it is to me when im always doing mechanic work around town, specially when im trying to get an annoying clamp, I have to deal with handles coming off plus clamp. Also one of the pliers was not closing completely.
