Not breaking suddenly, but just wearing out.
I go through vice grips every couple years, because the teeth get mashed/worn out over time, and just don't grip as well.
1/4 ratchets need rebuilding/replacement every couple years. Fine teeth get jammed or strip.
Chisels get dull, can only be re-sharpened so many times.
Side cutters get dull and worthless, although I have to say that the Knipex pair I own has been staying much sharper than the Snap-On pair I also own. BTW I highly recommend Knipex.
So what tools have you worn out over the years?
