It makes zero sense to me that it actually pulled the snout off the crank. I could see it pulling the threads off the end MAYBE. But Id sure hope that anyone with a sense of shit would realize its getting awfully tight far before the treads let go. The fact that it PULLED the end off would lead me to believe that there is something faulty in the material. On a direct pull like that it should take FAR more pull than what any brand of impact has, and it should take FAR more pull than what the threads would withstand.
