Really? I thought aftermarket would be softer. Harder ones would be more prone to snapping off under stress.

Side story: Good pipe wrenches can be bent almost into a loop - they're softer steel and won't break. Ridgid (Elyria, OH) has 48" steel wrench in their warranty department that was torqued with a fork lift on an oil platform. Wouldn't break, so they kept pushing until the thing looked like a retarded pretzel. Then they wanted it replace, even though it worked as intended (designed not to shatter).
