Should you pay for a part mechanic broke using the wrong tool?

, even with the correct "tool" it could brake, like anything.

These things are not usually that tight, you could pretty much throw a shifter on it and open it.

Or was it just poor quality materials? You know one of the faulty ones?
Well who cares? Lets just blame the guy that might have been doing the right thing.
Now I don't know if he's was doing the right thing, but im not sure he is to blame.

Let me see his workshop & the "tool" wrong or not ideal? Was it the tool? Was he a tool? Or was there a fault in the manufacturing of the cap? Or add a combination of being over tightened last time? Am I a tool?

These oil filter covers should come off very easy,

How's that for a long opinion......
Hope you get it sorted!

If a special tool is required and noted in service the instructions & the part broke when the correct tool was used it would be a warranty claim.

If the correct tool was not used the warranty claim would be denied, so the mechanic would be responsible for cost not customer.
