Wasted $150 on a bad CLA kit for my Minolta SRT-101

I bought one of those cheap CLA kits off eBay last month for $150. It came with greases that felt WAY too thick and a spanner wrench that slipped right off the lens ring. Ended up damaging the aperture blades trying to use their stuff. Had to order proper LiClipse grease from a guy in Oregon for $40 and toss the rest. Has anyone else had bad luck with those all-in-one repair bundles?

Buddy of mine had the same thing happen with a Nikon kit.

User error is way more common than people want to admit with gear like that.

Isn't it funny how we always blame the tool first and look at ourselves last? I see this all the time with people blaming their phone for bad photos when the lighting was just terrible.
