I chose Park Tool over Pedros for my shop kit and never looked back

I know everyone swears by Pedros for their bike shop starter kit, but I went with Park Tool's Home Mechanic Kit back in March. Spent about $180 on it, and after 6 months of steady use on customer bikes, the chain whip still hasn't slipped once. My buddy runs Pedros stuff and his chain whip started twisting after like 10 uses. Maybe it's just me, but I feel like Park Tool's steel is just thicker on the spoke wrenches too. Has anyone else had durability issues with Pedros tools long term?

My buddy had a Pedro's tire lever snap on him mid-tire change.

Huh, @dylanward, I've used Pedro's levers for years without any issues.
