They took advantage of me.They need to pay for what I have done.“I was very upset when I opened the box.”“I am a mechanic and repair man.

I use tools like that all the time to work on my car or around the house.“This is bad.“They have taken advantage of me — don’t scam nobody.“When I pay for something, I expect to get what I paid for.”AliExpress has been contacted for comment....
