Just wasted $150 on a 'universal' torque wrench adapter that slipped on a prop flange

It was supposed to fit all common bolt patterns, but the internal teeth were too soft and rounded off under load. Now I have to explain a damaged part and buy the proper tool anyway. Has anyone found a reliable brand for these, or should we just avoid the universal ones completely?

My uncle bought a universal phone charger that fried three different ports. It feels like the word "universal" is just code for "works poorly on everything." I'd stick with the brand name tool for something that important.

Snap-on's specific adapter is the only one I trust.
