Well it's not really broken, but one of the flatdrivers twisted without much force so I guess the steel quality and HT is lacking quite a bit from the original.
Well well, it was dirt cheap so it doesn't matter that much

Given how many times I've done that to the small SD on my ST300 (two, maybe three), maybe not. But I'm sure what they use is much lower grade than LM.

I prefer "Chread"(China produced Treat).
I imagine a call to their flustermer service would go like this, you "Hi, I twisted a bit driver", and them "It isn't for turning screws, as it is dude jewelry."
Pontificating particularly pious positions pertaining to polymorphic paraphernalia. G-Man.

I have found with Chinese products that
have broken that they normally always
replace the item without having
to send the broken item back
Their customer service is normally really good

While I was kidding about the CS reply earlier, I did have a nice experience with Ganzo regarding a G301 Firebird Chromium version. Even though they had discontinued the version, they still found and sent me a replacement. Though that said, Ganzo is a legitimate company, while most of the Chread makers are more boot legged.

And I hate flathead screws anyway
