Lol, i have 2 sets of tools, a decent set and a crappy set that way if i need to make a tool work i just use the crappy set and there its done. Or you can spend the money on a correct too to use but if you have an extra crappy tool i would just go for it...

I've heard that you need an impact driver/gun to get that nut on properly.
