DFP's top tip;
Use tools how they were meant to be used. Even the best tools can be destroyed quickly from misuse. People often rag on cheap 'looking' things like cone spanners, but even the most basic ones will last you a lifetimes cycling if you use them appropriately.
If you find yourself getting frustrated because something wont work, dont reach for the hammer. Walk away and think about things logically, waiting a couple days to get delivery of the correct tool is not such a big deal. Even expensive tools will pay for themselves in no time.
