Well I am glad to know I am not alone in the wrench modification club.
I used to assume that this kind of stuff happens to me because I am an amateur, but the more experience I get and the more I compare notes with other people, the less I am convinced that professionals are as immune from oddball problems as I was once convinced. In fact, what I am discovering is that the reason I sometimes get things back and they are not fixed correctly (whether it be something on my van, which for the most part I do not work on, or something that the PO of my house had done) is that when some "professionals" run into a time consuming problem, rather than take the time to follow it through correctly, they often just take a shortcut and call it "good enough" in the interest of not cutting into profits. This bothers me to no end and is why I like to work on things myself.
