Has this ever happened to any1 ?
Changed my oil yesterday which I always do & using d regular socket set -the GReddy magnetic drain bolt snapped!
Fortunately it had turned a bit & I was able to remove d broken piece. Then reused d original one which I kept!
Lasted 1 year!

You really ought to know that Chaguanas market is not the place that would be selling genuine Greddy products.

The magnetic oil sump drain bolt that I bought from GPS in St. James (can't remember the brand) has been in my car over six years now with no issues.
