I blew $1,200 on a 'universal' post driver attachment that bent on the third cedar post.

Watched my buddy buy a similar "heavy duty" driver last spring. He got maybe five fence posts in before the whole thing just folded like a cheap lawn chair. The metal was way thinner than the pictures showed, total junk. He spent weeks arguing with the company for a refund that never came. Some of this universal stuff is just cheap pot metal with a fancy paint job. Really makes you wonder what they're actually testing these things on.

My uncle bought one of those universal socket sets from a late night TV ad. The commercial showed a guy using it on a rusty truck bolt, but the first time my uncle tried it on a lawnmower, the little adapter piece just snapped in half. It was like it was made of the same stuff as a soda can. He still has the big plastic case it came in, uses it to store random nails now. Makes you really trust those demo videos.
