^^Yup. And things like that are another good reason to get warrantied tools. 
I'm a ditz, so stuff like that happens all the time... from tools getting rained on to tools shooting out of an open header (I accidentally left an 18mm socket in a header.. it seemed like a good idea... that thing had the force of a damn bullet comign out, and it was HOT). I abuse my stuff, and am definitely grateful for warranties.

with tools though bros. ill be honest..its all in how you use them... for year i have been building with tools from auto zone and advance... never broken anything vital or striped a bolt that was not already damages..

to work on your 240 you mainly need 10,12,14,17,19,21, and 24mm. with these you should be able to completely dismantle your car.
while having the right tools makes things essayer, cheap and expensive tools are only as good as the person using them. just buy any decent tools and you'll be fine.

torque to proper spec? now why would you do that hahaha you know the dealer dosnt let alone shops. anyway i know what you mean though i dont really trust a tire iron so id torque them with a torque wrench but i do trust my trusty 1/2 impact gun LOL. unless its aluminum or in the motor i just hit it with my trusty impact gun and its tight enough. Big strong things = 1/2" Air Impact gun, smaller semi weak things = electric 3/8' impact gun
